Thanks for reminding me.  We discussed this in the MSF course (not so
long ago for me, and even more recently for my wife).  The
recommendation was DON'T DO IT.  There is too much confusion over what
it means to blink your high beams.

Our instructor is a ghoul ;-) with a scrapbook of motorcycle accident
reports.  For years he has cut out every newspaper article he sees and
adds it to his book.  He quickly located a few reports where the rider
was injured or killed BECAUSE he flashed his high beams and it was
misinterpreted.

As stated above it could mean PROCEED.  This seems to be a regional
thing but you never know where a driver is from.
