Sounds good to me!!!
Great response thanx sadly seems a majority of truckers are to thick to realise flashin in vans or cars is pointless, to the minority of sensible truckers keep on truckin, me iv gotta nice trunk to nairn tonite, not to many van flashers on A9. Laters…
I don’t bother flashing in vans as they are generally going a heck of a lot faster than me so there is little point, likewise puddle jumpers. In the day I don’t tend to flash many people in, only if they get clearly past me and don’t make a move to come back, then I’ll give them a flash, but most people are cutting your nose off before you even get chance to reach for the lights. Couple of random observations though, I think you can tell when a puddle-jumper is being driven by a car licence numpty and when it’s a proper driver downgrading for the day, the ones that go past you and leave a safe gap before pulling in are being driven by proper drivers 
Also, who flashes in caravans? I do it based on the principle that they probably don’t tow very often and I would imagine it’s a bit of a struggle to see anything in those crappy little mirrors they have. Interestingly thus far every caravanner I have flashed in has thanked me.
Has anyone noticed that this ■■■■■■’s started two pages of crap with his ■■■■ spelling and grammar ? Not to mention the stupid topic.
Could’nt agree more Manowar,flashing in anything like a van or car seems like a sad,thick and futile pastime that serves no purpose other than to relieve a little of the boredom of driving.It makes me cringe with embarrasment.Stop it you sad prats.
Teeehee. I guess a lot of people do flash unecessarily to relieve boredom, but it’s a fairly harmless thing to do at the end of the day, although flashing is a lot more useful to some vehicles than others.
It always amuses me how on this particular forum, threads as inert as this one can end up polarising opinions and spark slagging matches.
If somebody in a van (a Transit is a product of Fix Or Repair Daily 
) flashes me out then I’ll flash them back in, but generally I wouldnt…
Anyhow, how the hell did this thread get to 2 pages 
When I was on vans, I was driving a transit drop-sider thing which was often at or over it’s weight. I quite often felt quite humbled by truckers flashing me in and it’s one of the reasons I decided to do this job. I don’t usually flash vans in unless they pass me slowly like another truck would - usually they’re past that quick that it’s obviously not needed.
The only people I nearly never flash in are camper vans, caravans and cars oh and coaches but that’s cos I’m jelous of them being “allowed” to do more than 56

He thought he would stick it out a bit longer!

You are correct , truckers are thick , some of us don’t know how to spell or nuffin innit !
For my two pence worth , as Grayham said earlier , if a van recognises the fact I need to go into lane two and flashes me out , as happens frequently , the driver will get a flash back from me as a thankyou. Does this make me a Dumbass ? 
I thought you had a ■■■■ flash or something good , dont let it bother you

Seriously mate …vans dont need flashing in…nor do cars…they dont expect it and truckers shouldnt do it, real truckers dont flash cars in ffs 
i dont flash vans , puddle jumpers , limiter disconnected mobs and cowboys in general
dont flash , it only encourages them !

Mate with spelling like that you really shouldn’t be insulting other people
With the poor spelling and the general lack of any sort of intellectual abilities that you’ve shown in this thread van flashers seem to be the least of your problems
