I have no idea if this is even considered flare. In this photoyou can see what I am talking about. I wish I could show you a better example, but I just can't find one because Ido not know what to call it or search under. So one: what is it called? and two: howdo you do it? (post processed or in-camera?)
My best guess on the technique:
Car stationary in a lower light situation, car lights on, lights are on on the background
Camera is set to f11 and a slow shutter like 1/2 sec flash is set on manual full power.
Camera is moved left then right, flash is set to rear(second) curtain.
This allows the motion of the background a relatively sharp main subject
