Not sure if this happens to you guys, but the other night at about 2 am I was driving home from Texas after finishing a job up, and I kept getting high beam flashed. I thought people were being cool and letting me know there was a speed trap. After seeing no police I realized people thought I had my high beams on. I had all my welding equipment in the bed of my truck so I think because it was sitting so low in the rear that it made the head lights shine more directly forward...? Either way I made a game out of really turning on my high beams when they did that, kind of a **** thing, but it kept me awake till I made it home at 430 am!

After I did the top perch adjustment I was getting flashed quite regularly. I did the same thing as you and flashed my high beams back to show them it was my low beams. It got so annoying that I ended up just adjusting my headlights down quite a bit. However, I still get flashed.

That's the normal thing to do up here. Someone flashes their highs at ya you flash em right the eff back. Usually keep em on for a few seconds to haha.

Only semi's or large trucks flash for speed traps. Guess no one else knows what it means haha.

I've noticed that too. I thought it was a pretty standard thing? Guess not.

Haha yea, then you get the docks that come up behind you with high beams on. I need some rigid D2 lights on the back for those ********.

Traveling during dark 9 hours a week I see that a lot. It's annoying as fuhq.

I just leave my brights on till they get closer, and can see me turn them off. Then if they still flash theirs, I turn mine on and leave em on.

I have my Dually's on my rear bumper and so far, have only had the pleasure of doing it once.......but it was such a giddy feeling when I did.
