I can see the competition school where guys have specific cars for racing. You definitely been watching too much tv.
If you flash the car infront of you with your headlights you're going back to the classroom. Cause if you are overtaking a car, the guy infront of you must signal you to pass. If the guy infront is unsure whether to let you pass then you be patient OR pull into the pits and let everyone go ahead.
Don't post things if you don't know what you are talking about please.
obviously you haven't carefully read my posts...the tape is there for a
precaution in case someone bumps or gets a rock in the headlights...please notice where i said
[the schools]they don't allow bumping...please read my posts before replying...yes you are correct that the driving schools DO NOT allow bumping and only allow passing in certain areas...don't know how many schools you've been to but you are kicked out when you act in an unprofessional manner...i.e. passing without a signal, dangerous behavior, ignoring flags, etc.
as for flashing lights...an instructor of mine who had over 2 decades of w2w racing experience had schools that allowed headlight signalling...its main reason was to signal your intent that you are faster than the car in front of you and they should let you by when it is safe (where passing is allowed)...the main reason was b/c some students don't look in the mirrors and neither do their instructors...this is stuff i've researched and prepared in a report
