Flashing the headlights on your car - what for ?

Usually coz some prick hasnt dimmed

I never wave anyone out or flash lights to let them out, cos then if that person crashes, it's your fault cos yer man will say "he let me out", my driving instructor told me never to do so and I don't.

True.
I do this to people I dont like, taxi drivers, white vans etc

Getting flashed has saved me a few speeding tickets over the years. One particular time I managed to slow down just in time. The guard still pulled me over at the bottom but he said if I had of been going 5kph more he would have had to give me a ticket.

Generally flash people if I see they need to get out of a side road and there are a row of cars behind me and its safe for him to get out on the road. Would flash the odd time to warn of a speed check but know someone who was pulled for that before so a bit weary top so would depend on me mood

Hate when you are trying to get off a side road, there is only one car coming and nobody behind him so you are waiting for him to pass and next minute he stops as flashes you to go out. Ok thanks for the gesture but if you had of kept going I'd be just as quick getting out

Cant stand people who when you let them out or into your lane they don't wave to say thanks or flash the hazards.

I'd flash someone to say thanks if there's parked cars both sides of the street and a car lets me go first.  I'd also flash some ignorant fooker who may have pissed me off (usually a taxi driver).  Apart from that, the only flashing I do (or used to do) was near the school playground when I was an adolescent finding myself.
