I was just talking about this very same thing the other day. I used to see it all of the time when I was kid in the 60's.
Now if I flash my lights at someone I usually get a  if its someone under 30 years old driving the other car.
People flashing their lights is way better than a radar detector. Sad that this is becoming a thing of the past.
I always try to help someone from being robbed by the rolling [speeding, etc] tax if I can. On newer vehicles you can flash your headlights without your taillights comming on. You can usually do this by pulling your headlight lever towards you, and back.
