[Oh Haha]

I had to pass a course on defensive driving for my new job. In one of the modules it is suggested that you honk the horn and flash your lights to indicate you are about to pass the vehicle ahead. This is not in a "fast lane hog" situation, just normal driving.

In all of the driving instruction I have taken or taught this has never been discussed.

I think it is a bad idea, in most situations, anyway. Seems like a good way to get your a$$ kicked.

Any thoughts?
