    ....when they come up behind you on a blind corner and flash because the want to do the decent thing and warn you before they overtake you on a blind corner or...

    .... flash and sound the horn behind you because you are doing less than 20km over the limit and they are running late.

    So when a car is approaching you flashing, with another car beside it approaching you flashing, while you have a car up your chuff flashing and sounding the horn as you have just been overtaken on a blind corner....indicate and pull over for a little lay down till the nerves settle.

    All of the above in normal here though not usually all at the same time.

    had a cop flash (headlight flash not blue red flash) a bunch of us on bikes on a group ride back from akaroa a while ago, we were going a wee bit too fast on a downhill slope and he came around the hill infront of us. fully surprised he didnt just do a u-turn and pull us over.

    What's wrong with your low beam that people think you are running high beam? If it is happening a lot as you say you should get it seen to.

    It's powerful. People don't expect it to be that strong. Once I do a quick flash of high beam, they stop. I spend money on my lights (and buy bikes with good lights), as I ride a lot at night. Same occurred with my previous bike.

    It's probably below the legal settings currently, as people kept flashing me.
