Tailgaters Was: winter weather alert- help those in need

[duandcc_forums at cox.net]

Keep the far right windshield sprayer (1 of the 2 on the right sprayer fixture so that you can still clean the windshield) aimed so at highway speeds it will hit a tailgater square in the windshild. Works well for me without causing permanent damage or being a legal problem.
