   IME at least 60% of the people on the road shouldn't be driving.

   True, now you have to get over the idea that most people out there are   
   responsible - they arent' and most have never heard of it or did in driver's   
   ed and promptly forgot it.   
      
   In the instance I was responding to it wasn't eve=n "flash to pass" but "flash   
   to let someone know they are clear to pull in."  I use it when truckers pass   
   me as they are about the only ones who know about it.

   Same here but you better get used to the idea that most drivers out there   
   focus on the bumper just ahead of them.
