and furthermore have you never had a person try to change lanes in traffic and they were hesitant to do so, even though there was more then enough room? Thats when you flash your brights

Oh I agree there's a difference between merging in and slowing down to a halt and trying to make a left lane change. Trust me, I have no faith in Calgary drivers as I deal with them literally 60 hours a week in one sense or another...but you still need to have some faith...or just save the hassle and move over to the next lane if its available.

I just think if the person is hesitant to move already when there's room...flashing your brights is just going to fluster them even more...more of an 'f you' type message.
