It's interesting how things differ between the UK and other countries.
In the UK - someone intending to drive faster than you and flashing their lights is considered an aggressor, or some other negative connotation. Everything becomes a challenge and they are considered the 'enemy' on the road.
In Italy - someone intending to drive faster will indicate with a flash of their lights and it is considered a courtesy to other road users. At the earliest opportunity, the car in front will move out of the way and both drivers will go about their journey without further care or thought.
