Auto lights and 'flashing someone out.'
A word of warning to owners of cars with auto headlights , I have had several instances of drivers pulling out in front of me during poor light conditions in daylight because my auto lights have turned on and the other drivers think I'm flashing them to pull out of side roads . I now turn off the auto light function to save any confusion.

Flashing people out is dangerous anyway. A headlight flash should only ever be used as a warning unless the intention of the flashing driver is clear by some other means.
