Driving in Germany when some flashes his headlights at you it means -get out of the bloody way,stupid-, in the UK or that part where I live it means -after you-, how is it in the US?

It means your lights are off, a headlight is out, or after you.

Yeah, it's like "watch out, there's police".

In NY/PA it means that there's a speed trap ahead, so slow down.

I'm in the UK, and bikers used to flash their headlights at me as a fellow biker. It was funny. :p

Having grown up in the UK I instinctively take flashing to mean 'you first'. As you can imagine, I nearly got myself killed here in Taiwan where it means 'get out of my f!@#ing way, I'm coming through!'
