I used to enjoy driving the highways in the late night and early morning (dark) hours because the truckers took care of each other and the other drivers who knew their system.
They would flash their lights, dim them, or otherwise signal when it was safe to change lanes, pass, or pull back into the lane in front of them. I rarely see this anymore. Maybe I'm just not in the right places, but I used to see it all the time.
Today - during rush hour and also the rain - police cars had one lane of traffic blocked servicing an accident (the one I was driving in). Changing lanes was not going to be easy. Finally, after 6 or 7 cars went speeding along oblivious to my turn signal and situation, a considerate driver (not even a truck) flashed his lights as a signal for me to change lanes in front of him.
How refreshing and appreciated.
