Potentially the car could flash the headlights, a signal that's commonly used today to say, "I am waiting for you to go".

  Not everwhere. The other meaning for flashing headlights is "get out of my way, I'm coming through"

    Yeah, but if you're stopped... it probably means "go right ahead."

    This reminds me of the driving I saw when I traveled to India many years ago. On relatively-major "two-lane" roads, trash and draft-animal traffic would force trucks to drive basically in the center of the road. When two trucks met, they would each swerve slightly to the right so as to barely avoid crashing. Before they met, however, they would each turn on their left signal light. Our driver said it was supposed to intimidate oncoming traffic into leaving more room.

      In India they drive on the left, did you get your sides switched?

        Haha yes I must have.
