I love the a$$hats that decide to clean their windshield when I'm right behind them, and the washer fluid squirts directly over the windshield onto me! All I can do is back off, duck below the shield, and at the first opportunity pass them and give them the stink eye. Doesn't help much, but I'm not going to jail over something as minor (albeit annoying) as this.
The thing with throwing things out the windows pisses me off too, and even before I rode, I didn't do it if there was any vehicle behind me. I will say most of them probably don't realize the thing with the windshield washers. I have been hit by the spray too, but it is probably the only thing that has hit me coming from a car that doesn't make me mad.
I can see gettin sprayed by the windshield solvent,they probably don't even realize it,but if they throw something out the window and I'm behind them,I'll let em know for sure.
I get in front of them and spit at different heights till I hit their windshield..I'm pretty good at it and can usually hit dead center the 2nd time..One time I confronted a guy in a BMW about his cigarette butt and he almost chit his pants.
Spitting works quite well, especially because the cager can see you turning your head and doing it in front of them. Even if you do miss, they get the idea. besides, spit doesnt cause any damage like marbles or ball bearings might and those items could result in Johnny law getting more involved.
I had a putz in a truck chuck the entire contents of his ashtray in front of me while going down RT33E in Green county, We stopped about 1/2 mile down the road at a light. I guess Mr. Monk couldn't wait. I pulled beside him and told him thanks for the ashes , he looked at me and said what ashes? The worst part is the big Harley bar/shield on his back glass. What a turd.
There are two many road rage incidents these days. We just had a shooting, two cagers. Another guy this summer w his kid on the back got mad and pulled along side the cager and she got scared and swerved and dumped him. The kid mad it but he didn't. These days there are two many idiots packing heat or ready to run you over.
