An excellent custom which ought to be adopted in the US as well, I've
always thought.  It's a clear, unambiguous signal, much better than
flashing your high beams, which (a) is obnoxious (b) temporarily
blinds the person in front of you if they don't have their mirror set
to "night" (c) distracts drivers on the other side of the road and (d)
ought to be reserved for more serious alerts, such as warning drivers
going the other way of a speed trap.
