In a few of these instances, I've even see the tailgating driver flash his vehicle's headlights on high and this is also illegal.

I was under the impression that some states had some law on the books indicating it was 'illegal' to flash [i]on-coming[/i] cars to warn them of police ahead of them on the road (ie with radar). I was not aware of any law indicating it was illegal to flash to pass (regardless of tailgating issues). I frequently flash semi-trucks quickly to increase the probability that they see me and know I intend on safely passing them on the left.n/t
