This is commonplace in the Republic of Ireland also. Is really useful, especially as the country has a lot of single carriageway low quality roads.

Also, is commplace to use your hazard warning lights to thank such a vehicle who in return flashes their lights to acknowledge your thanks (I think that is what they mean anyway)
