It seems lately that where I live people have no idea what it means. A week or two ago I was driving though a residential neighborhood I used to live in that is full of deer and other wildlife. I passed a large group of deer as I was cresting a hill that was about to cross. I saw them start to cross in my rear view as I reached the top of the hill. Coming uphill in the opposite direction I see a car speeding up the hill. Speed limit there is 25 as it’s a residential area. It was a woman flying up the hill in a suv. I flashed repeatedly to warn about the deer. Sure enough a few seconds later I hear tires/brakes squealing.

A few more back I passed a cop on the side of the road. Seconds later I see a young guy flying going in thr cop’s direction. I flash twice and he did t even look at me. I see the cop’s lights turn on I. The rest view as that kid passed him.

I think it’s sort of a lost thing to do while driving and even freaks people out. In most parts of the country it’s not something that’s been passed on to new drivers. There’s a demographic that’s heavily moved into my area of the state that’s mostly new foreign drivers that look absolutely terrified to drive and drive like crap.
