i know you guys are only talking water here so no biggie and the
concept is funny... BUT, be careful wat you toss at other cars
because i remember reading about some lady that threw a
half filled water bottle at another car because he was being an
ass tailgating... she got 8yrs prison time as his lawyer was able
to convince the judge.


it's not worth the hassle. just either slow down if you're the one
tailgating, or just let the car pass behind you. if they are intentionally
tailgating you (you change lanes and they still follow), then call
the cops.

be smart out there.

I was driving my Civic coupe (last car) and this butt in his lastgen Accord was on my ass so much that I couldn't even see his headlights! So I did what I normally do (and what normally works): brake check. He stayed at least a second behind me after that.

(in retrospect, not the best thing to do to get them off your rear, but it works. I don't encourage it, though.)

You're right, of course.

That was NOT a smart move on my part. The guy could easily have been carrying a gun and shot me (provided he actually used the sights, and didn't hold the gun upside-down, Ice Cube style). On the other hand, I could have been carrying one myself, and I DO use the sights. Plus, he was about as big as the side of a building; he would have been hard to miss.
But of course, the smart way is as Kenchan said. Don't make a situation worse than it already is. Get out of foolish drivers' way. Let them make someone else a statistic instead of you. I was just already stressed because the roads were wet and I was on 2 wheels with my wife on the back.
I really mean it about the pineapple, too.

Seems like a waste of perfectly good fruit. Use a military "pineapple".

All you really have to do is wash your windshield. The mist from the front jets will end up soaking their car also.
I do it to people that ride my ass. I dont stop spraying my windshield till I see their wipers come on.
