The meaning is slightly different depending on the circumstances.
It can mean to 'move over and get out of my way' to a slower vehicle in the fast lane of a freeway. In Germany, if you are on a fast Autobahn and miss the flash, you are likely to get plowed into by an exotic sports car going 200+ mph!
It can mean that 'you are free to enter this line of traffic in front of me'. I often use a 2 flash signal to inform the driver wanting to merge into my lane of traffic that I am letting him come in. The vast majority of drivers seem to understand the signal used this way.
It can also mean 'You $%^&$^#&! I can't believe you just did that!'
Anyone know any other uses for the headlight flash?
