In Ohio if you flash it means you are signaling on coming cars that police are ahead and you will get a ticket if the cops catch you doing it. I've never heard the phrase flash to pass before but I've only been driving for 42 years.

Same here. I grew up in PA and I've heard about (and have done) flashing lights was a signal to slow down because of the police and never heard of the flash-to-pass thing.

Where I grew up you would give a really quick couple of honks to the car in front that you were going to pass.

Flash to pass was more of a European thing. It was never really practiced here in the states.

Flashing to warn others of cops was a big deal in the 70's and 80's in Ohio when I was living there, but even that kind of faded away. I got to a point where I quit warning people and figured if they were dumb enough to go that fast they deserve to get caught, lol. These days that's pretty much non existent.

As a kid in the 60's we would travel back on Sunday nights from our weekend place on the river. Three hours of two lane wooded country roads, and I can remember my Dad lighting up the tree tops whenever he passed someone with that blue 2 door '61 Biscayne.
With three kids, a dog and trunk full of stuff it was nose high on those trips. Looked sweet with the wide whites and skirts!
