It's somewhat common among truck drivers in Germany to flash the turn signals left-right-left-right to say "thank you" after overtaking (another truck).

- sva_ 5y agoI think it's usually right-left-right-left.
- matja 5y agoMaybe it's the other way when driving on the left? :)
- hengheng 5y agoIs that saying thanks? I thought they were just fumbling with the blinker control.
- londons_explore 5y agoyes, that's saying thanks. It's equivalent to the hazard lights, but in some vehicles the hazard lights button isn't very accessible.
- YeahThisIsMe 5y agoIt's saying thanks as a response to the slower truck flashing its high beams to let the faster truck know it's now safe to move back over to the slower lane.
