Cevap

Wait patiently and allow the motorcyclist to pass before making your turn
Under the UK Highway Code (Rules 110 and 111), flashing headlights should only be used to let other road users know you are there. You must never assume that flashing headlights are an invitation to proceed. The safest and correct action is to wait until the motorcyclist has passed before executing your turn.
