Just give way.... normally I give way, then cut back. Few times I just got onto the motorway, cut into fast lane at 110km then car coming fast from behind, I just go back to left lane and cut back after he has passed. No big deal, he save brake, I save brake (Once I was going to Cameron, got this singaporean Honda Civic coming fast from behind, I signal left and went to the slow lane, then went back on right lane after he has passed. After a while he was kinda slow and blocking the fast lane again, however when I got close enough he move to left lane and consequently to my back, and when he reach close enough I move and left him pass again. This went on for quite a while, guess he was traveling long distance and got bored lol). hmm.gif

Agreed, just give signal that your going to the left lane already, they will stop flashing you knowing that you will give way. Many cars can easily hit 180km/h, and from far they see that you are traveling at much slower speed they will flash based on instinct. If they don't, they have to break hard to your speed or they might even hit your rear. Just give way, less hassle icon_idea.gif

Many people here cannot differentiate between high beaming, and flashing your headlights

LOL?

Presumably they are flashing the high beam during the night, whereby the headlights are already switched on. Unless you mean their high beam is switched on as normal head light usage?
