Get ready for the usual suspects on this board..."Well...you were too close to the car!"
"You are a dangerous rider!"
"You aren't courteous and I can see a dangerous future for agressive riders like you"
Blah...Blah...Blah.
Cagers are simply too busy texting,talking on the phone, or giggling over the latest facebook post to pay attention to you on the road.
Hell, they probably don't even realize their windshield washer spray goes 20 ft in the f'n air and sprays all over everything within 1/2 mile behind.
Hey...I know, maybe if we somehow framed this to be harmful to the environment or harmful to some tiny little animal these *** hats will think about their actions?

Seriously, I don't even do this with other cars in close proximity to me when in the Z71, that bug on the windshield can wait.
I do. When I'm already going 5 over and some ******* gets on my back bumper, I wash 'em down. They always either back off or go around. I wish I had windshield washers on my bike sometimes - or a rocket launcher, machine guns, **** slinger, anything.
But I hear ya, just one of many things people do that ain't got a clue about riding.

I hear ya, but in this particular case I was a good 4 seconds behind the guy, so I'm suspecting a severe case of dain bramage...he did it again 5 miles down the road, I guess that was one helluva bug. Gave him "the look" when I finally got to get around him...oblivious.
Some idiots think it's funny to spray a guy on a bike behind them. It's part of riding...you're sharing the road with idiots.
Not to different than the guys driving the big turbo diesel pickups...when they're at a red light or stop sign and they see a guy on a bike pull up behind them..they amuse themselves by stomping on it and making the biker choke and cough with all the black smoke.
You have a good point. We bike riders tend to see things differently when we drive our cars/trucks. While we know the hazards bikers face , the avg driver doesn't have a clue. Ride defensively. Way too many texters and all around dumbass drivers out there.
