Is it a standard practice to warn other drivers when opposite traffic double beam their headlights?

2. it is an offence to drive on the highway with high beam?

1. No, it just informed so that alert ahead.

2. No, if it'snt no other vehicle ahead.
If there is other vehicle then Yes, if less than 100 feet, but no if more than 150 feet.

1) There are 2 meaning of ppl flashing on the opposite side..i.e..1st to warn ppl that there is a road block or speed trap ahead. 2nd, It's just some wan driving >150km/hr asking car in front of him to get lost. :mrgreen:

2) High beam during dark moonless nite & when opposite without car is actually very important. However as a courtesy, switch off the high beam when there is opposite traffic...but sometime..those ppl din switch off..
