it makes spots all over your paint and chrome, there is two vehicle on the way to work that do this all the time. I think a cup of coffee in the windshield might give them a hint!!

A quart of oil will slow him down lots more! But let's try not to enrage cages, they are a frustrated bunch.

Try carrying a plastic squirt bottle filled with a mild solution of caustic soda and water. When they squirt you, pass them and return the favor. When they turn on the wipers, the windshield is history. Maybe it won't be so funny to them then.

It's happened to me but not sure if it was intentional. I did however has some *** wipe in a pickup swerve slightly off the road to spit up some dirt/gravel at me. First time I thought it may have been unintentional. Second time I was convinced it was very much intentional when I saw the passenger look back laughing. I did my best Walt Kowalski impression (from the movie Gran Torino) and pointed my finger at them as if it was a gun. Stupid kid floored it and took off, I gave him a little chase just for fun then I backed off.

Here on Long Island I have noticed that in the summer driving down the LIE air conditioners sometimes spray water. Never had anyone clean their windshield in front of me... At least not on my bike.

I think its a driver thing. The wife can go through a gallon of washer fluid in a month.

You can tell which cow in the livestock trailer that just p***ed all over you by the grin on his face also.

Try and leave a little more room from these people.
I hate when that happens.
Go along minding your own business and these jerks have their little play fun.
With the idiots on the road today that is minor compared to the suicidal maniacs that get their grin out of scarring you.
