I don't know what you drive, but with my 96 SL2 I can certainly flash my
headlamps because Saturns of that vintage have the dedicated inboard DRLs.
Only problem is how many people know what you're telling them? I know in
some parts of the world it's a universally accepted method of letting the
other driver know you're giving them the right of way.

DRLs aren't a panacea for every form of idiocy, carelessness, or inattention
on the road. Everyone is ultimately responsible to use their own grey
matter. They address one specific issue.
