Around this area, Oncoming left turn and side street entry do react to the flashing of a light.
Truckers that move out of the way when I enter the freeway get light flashes so they may move back into the right lane because I block traffic so they may.
Driving a freeway,a directional hand wave along the driver side window lets folks know that they may pass me when I am going more slowly than they.
Of course, there are some that do not understand. I always give way to left turns across my traffic lane!
Just my ways of dealing with other drivers and motorcycles.
YMMV

]I rode to Milwaukee in 2008 for Harley-Davidsons 105th Anniversary Celebration & on my way home going through Arkansas, hurricane Gustav had moved north into that state & by then it was pouring rain but I had my rain gear on & when truckers were coming up, they were way back there & would change lanes & passed but then when they got back over, they made sure they were way ahead of me, opposite people in cars & small trucks. They would pull right up on my ass & then pass & pull right in front of me so the truckers were showing great respect for a biker riding all alone on the busy interstate. Many truck drivers are bikers & they have respect unlike other people! I have nothing against truckers except for one who totaled my small pickup in 2007 after he made a right turn in front of me as I was in the far right lane. He was turning into IHOP!!! It was a good thing I wasn't on my bike that day or I wouldn't be here!
