Do we know whether the speeder even had his lights on or not?  He doesn't sound responsible enough for even that. [/quote]

That model of BMW has automatic headlights, and daytime running lights. Some illumination would have been on. The crash report also states he flashed his high beams at the Volt (not clear if before it started to cross or not).[/quote]

Okay, but usually, doesn't "flashing your lights" tell the other person to proceed (not a warning, but a "go ahead")? This kid isn't very smart. [/quote]

Flashing your lights at someone on the highway means "get out of my way"....normally the car in front is going too slow for the car behind.  I assume he was flashing the volt so it would stay out of the way...[/quote]

No, flashing your lights at oncoming traffic does mean go ahead. If you are on a highway BEHIND someone and flash your lights, it is a (rude) signal for them to get into the righthand, slower lane so you can pass.[/quote]

PP here.  Agreed.  This kid wasn't on the Autobahn, yet thought he was?  WTF?  [/quote]
