To me, When you slow down and Flash twice also mean you are giving them way but if you flash and hold,it means the on coming vehicle should hold on for you.

when a vehicle is tryin to make a U-turn and flashes light to you....if you flash back several times n slow down that means you're tellin the vehicle to quickly make his U-turn and get out.....
but if you flash and hold yo light ON, that means you aint stoppin for nobody.


But if a frend sees u comin the oppossite direction or even behind you HE/SHE might flash you several times...tryin to get yo attention

But if its not a frend, several flashes behind you means GET OUT THE WAY...if its flash and hold means you should SPEED UP



hope this helps anyway

I think when you flash once - watch it
If you flash twice and you are standstill, if the other driver has some sense he should have been (standstill/slow down) too, so when your second flash comes, you telling him to pass 1st.
After passing, you blow horn meaning 'Thanks'....

Sometimes I flash, when I see a friend, as a greeting. I will keep flashing from a distance to get the persons' attention b4 we are @ close range.

When the car is behind you (flashing), it means gerrout of ma way- make I speed dey go...

Flash and hold - I'm not stopping, so don't try to say you aint seeing me and my light...lol

Woman your analysis is almost 100% to me except for the bolded in RED. To me if you flash twice and you are in standstill,it means you've given the vehicle opposite you clearance to pass but if you flash once without releasing,it means the opposite vehicle should hold on for you to pass.
