Left turn signal.

In fact, I was told by someone that you can get a fine in Germany for highbeaming, and that the correct protocol was, in fact, the left turn signal. He also duly noted that if you were traveling in excess of 260 km, that it probably was perhaps best to give a light tap on the highs regardless, just to let them know you're coming.

I started using the left turn signal thing, and I've actually even seen it catching on a bit.

People seem somewhat less "insulted" somehow, and yield faster...
Flashing may be illegal here too, I know it upsets the popo when people do it to warn other motorists that theyre out there. Plus it may interupt the important text message theyre sending out at the time
