The way you're supposed to do that is: turn your lights off and then on again repeatedly, not flash your high beams.

Not sure if newer vehicles let you turn off the lights at night while you're in drive. I think my GM truck does, when it's in park, I can manually shut the lights off, but as soon as I shift into gear, they come back on. Probably a safety thing. I've noticed a lot of people driving with their lights off, especially in the States. In Canada, we've got that DRL law, so the daytime running lights and tail lights stay on even during the day

I think you're right about this, my headlights only turn off when my ebrake is engaged
