Actually the real maening behind it is from over in Japan. That and the light flasshing. When you street race over there, the hazards are usually run while racing to let people know to get the f#%$ out of the way and the light flashing is done when you pull up on someone that you want to race. The only downfall is once you flash the beams you better be on the throttle because the guy is gonna go so you better have enough to catch up and overtake him. If you ever watch the video clips on the Tokyo Midnight racing game of real street racing in Japan then you'll see how they are doing it with the lights and all. Not to mention look at how fast those cars are....SICK!!!!
