Canada needs drivers who flash their headlights at slow-moving cars that clog passing lanes
Canada needs more flashers. Not men in raincoats and galoshes. . As a nation, we must adopt the “flash” as our universal sign for “move over.”
The “flash” is common practice in Europe and other parts of the world; a driver moving at a high speed in the passing lane will flash their headlights at a driver in the same lane who is travelling slower. The message: “Move over. Get out of the way.” It is an efficient means of maintaining good lane hygiene and it works exceptionally well. Nobody is insulted by the “flash.” No one’s manhood is called into question. No one gets mad. Nor should they, it’s not personal.
I’ve tried flashing my headlights in Canada and it has no effect. The slowpokes keep clogging the passing lane. As Angelo DiCicco, general manager with the Ontario Safety League, told Globe Drive’s Jason Tchir, “What you think is supposed to happen as a result of this attempt at communication is probably not going to happen unless you both know Morse code.”Some will claim encouraging the “flash” caters to speed demons. They’ll say it will make the roads more dangerous. Nonsense.
