This is similar to what is known as 海市蜃楼 that is commonly seen by those dying of thirst in desert.

From the replies of the bros here then i guess its normal.. sometimes the illusion of a person flagging me is so real .

Seven Month coming. Hello..... lock tis Thread. Zip........

sometimes trees , branches , road dividers , all can make me think it's human flagging .
Street electrcial boxes also .....

I believe it's due to poor lighting that tricked us into thinking that the "image" is a real pax. This doesn't happen when there is sufficient light after daybreak even though our mind is tired after a night's driving.
It definitely has nothing to do with "money not enough" pressure, since the only aim in cruising the street at 2~3am is to get a fare paying pax.

yah sometimes cant make out its a person or not

Maybe you are right, but for me it only happened during those desperate times. Never had problem on "busy" nights. :)

There is one car repair and tyre shop at Bendemeer road toward lavender and Jalan bersah, they placed a dummy model in a waving posture beside the road to advertise their shop, somehow, i didn't know and stopped to pick the dummy thinking another good pax...it was about 2 am, then I laughed to myself. Damn
