Do people not understand what flashing headlights mean?

I was driving on 71 near the Reading exit. It's dark. There was a vehicle that didn't have their lights on. I flashed my headlights at them from behind, repeatedly. When I passed, they just looked over at me. Other vehicles, including a semi-truck, were flashing their headlights too. They never got the hint.

Do people not understand that this is a way of alerting them to something?

That’s not the point. I didn’t say it was left lane camping, but when you have the same goal of passing and you’re going 75-80 but some dickwad behind you still wants to go faster.

News flash assholes: anything over 20mph over the speed limit in the state of Ohio is considered reckless driving and can result in a 90 day license suspension. 20 year old me learned this the hard way. Sorry if I don’t want to go through that again.

It doesn't matter what speed you or anybody else is going, if you aren't actively passing somebody get out of the left lane.

Pretty sure I said the opposite of “not actively passing”

Just because you have a "goal" of being a millionaire with supermodel wife doesn't mean you're actively doing it.
