I’ve never heard of flashing to pass, the only thing I’ve seen it used for is to let a car in the right lane trying to get into the left lane know it’s safe to do so (as a driver in the left lane). I’ve only ever seen it used by truckers.
As far as Minneapolis goes, I’m quite the opposite. Having lived on the west coast I dread going to Minneapolis — everyone seems to be in a bad mood whenever I go there.
Flashing to pass 'might' have been a thing long ago. When I was taught driver's ed in the 1980s, we were told not to do it, so perhaps it was done in previous decades.
