I dont use flashing lights precicely because they identify me as a bike "Is that something ahead? Oh, it's flashing, must just be a bike, I won't bother giving him more than 2 inches space as I pass/won't bother waiting for him before I turn right" If they decide to move over or slow down in the half second extra it takes them to realise I'm a bike then that's ok by me.
Also I heard that flashing lights actually attract tired/drunk drivers in your direction, probably a load of crap though
