just thinkin'.....
Hey Jersey, you may be right as that is why I said that I wasn't sure if it is still a law, however I do know people that were ticketed some years ago.
In reality, it is dangerous.
Be safe!
I just drove from CA to TN in the motorhome. I've flashed truckers in every state between here and there. Some truckers will give me a flash signaling that it is ok to move back into the right lane after I pass them.
Many times, a trucker will flash his/her courtesy lights in appreciation for the headlight flash but some don't.
I've always wondered which states frown upon it but haven't investigated. I know in one instance that a trooper did see me flash a trucker to move over. I did check my mirrors to see if he was going to follow me but didn't (can't remember which state I was in).
I don't normally drive the motorhome at night so this is just a daytime event.
Safe travels,
MM.
