im kinda torn on this. its just water/wiper fluid and unless my car was just washed i dont think it leaves any spots BUT the audi certainly has to know that he/she is going to get a good amount of spray on the car behind them and it is an unwanted offensive touching (however slight) on another persons property.

i guess the tipping point for me to not like it is that the audi had to have known but does it anyway.

I have to be honest - if you're tailgating me for no reason (ie there is a car directly in front of me or it's impossible for me to get over) you're probably going to get as much of my windshield wiper fluid as possible.
I know it's really petty, but I swear it makes people realize how big of an ass they're being on the highway. And it's definitely safer than a break check.

i was safely following. at least 5 car lengths back. when you are on the highway doing highway speeds, the spray really travels.

i am a "take it easy" driver. go with the flow of traffic, pick a lane and stick to it. i have 1 speeding ticket and 0 at fault accidents in 18 years of driving.

Ahh, excellent. Without getting into it further, you know that I (and probably Schneed).
