What’s a little extra 5 or 10 mph on the clock?

    The best method is to spray your windshield.
    Some of it gets swept with the wind into their windshield, and they have to wipe/clean theirs.

    I don’t think that’s ever failed to get someone to back off.

      Why would someone care about this? I’ve had this happen to me a handful of times, almost always a jeep because they have crazy over spray, I was never tail gating but I was totally unphased by it, its wiper fluid not acid

        I don’t think people care about it, but it seems to trigger some subconscious “I’m too close” and they drop back a bit.

        I guess if someone is actually being an asshole aggressive tailgater then they won’t care
