How about this douchebag in a honda civic?

I know this is old but there are way too many Fast and Furious wannabes out there.

Ah, when I do it, it's usually pretty fast and I do it probably at least 4-5 times. Do you think that would also be mistaken as a yield?

at the very least by flashing ur headlights ur obviously trying to signal them something, and i dont think anyone will interpret it as "please dont cream me." if you really think someone cant see you, use the horn, or rev it up some.

my main suggestion is to not change speed either up or down, youll only confuse them.

Whether they get the right message or not I don't think matters because the point is they are confused, hesitant, wondering what I am doing. That by itself can indirectly keep them from creaming me. And if they think I am signaling a cop behind me then they will probably be even more careful and attentive to what they are doing.

I know anytime there is something odd going on, I get attentive.

There are some guantlet type roads like you described where I live too. Generally, I try to avoid them. If I do drive them I find myself getting fixated on one cager while another cager is up to no good. I know about the scan eval exec thing sometimes i just forget tho.

Yes flashing your lites around here means you are going to yield the right of way. I don't flash my lites for any reason.

Sometimes I drive with the hi-beam on during the day on my bike & people actually beep at me. Are they trying to send me a message that my hi-beam is on ? I dunno & don't care at least they are seeing me.
