This quick mod to your windshield spritzer acts as a safety device for both you and the idiot following much too closely.
Activated automatically by the backup camera, the Bubbleizer directs a thick stream of bubbles over your roof and into the path of the offender.
Increasing degrees of reprimand
solutions are available via the tank next to the washer fluid, from rainbow bubbles to gummy spaghetti, and even a mild acid etch. Colors, too!
Use Catch-A-Bubble

Arguably more fun than the oil sprayer mounted to the rear bumper. [+] |
|

Righto. Bunned, not Bond. |
|
| |
...if your bubbles cause the person behind you to crash due to spasmodicism they will be well within their rights to sue you for the accident they say you caused whether that is the case or not. |
|
| |
That's all I have to say. |
|
| |
..until somebody refutes me of course. |
|
| |
That goes without saying. |
|
| |
To risk sounding cruel and unfeeling, you would be well down the road when the fit hit the shan. As ever, our thoughts and prayers go with the innocents subject to collateral damage. |
|

It's nice to imagine a world where this sort of ad-hoc vigilantism isn't needed or desirable. While I'm dreaming, maybe some sort of taxpayer funded crime fighting organization could "police" the roads? Serving as a mechanism of removing offenders and acting as a baseline disincentive. |
|
| |
I was thinking more of the lizard-brain satisfaction in the moment and less of the social engineering aspect. That social engineering is so boring. Compared to bubbles, anyway. |
|
| |
That isn't very nice. Stuff could be harmed by the acid etch. (Put me down for two of them) [+] |
|

Sorry in advance, just a little recent tangential side story I thought would amuse |
|
| |
Returning from an arduous trip to help our daughter move in a city two and half hours away with two trucks and a trailer, we of course piled on coming back with a thousand or so pounds of IKEA, had to hit Costco while we were there, The Bay is going out of business and liquidating everything cheap so you just know we gotta tap that on the way out. |
|
| |
I'm wiped by this time. I hand loaded that thousand pounds with my wife and now we've got two and a half hours to get home at a decent time. |

This fucking Road-Karen slowed a massive string of traffic to 70 km/hr in a 100 hm/hour stretch for like twenty minutes and sped up to 110 at every dotted line and I'm the guy behind they/them.
I'm a chill dude, but after the third time I kept as close to his bumper as humanly possible, with enough room to avoid collision through the multiple brake checks for I don't know how many killometers, flashing my high beams in his rear view mirror before I was able to pass him or her. I was tempted to ride them back to their house... |

When I told this story to a buddy of mine the next day he told me that he's got a zip-lock baggy full of golf balls for just such occasions that he releases as he rolls by. |
|
| |
They're kind of bubbles... sorta. |
|
| |
So what you are looking for is a forward component to the spritzer. I looked at the aerodynamics and concluded that an acceptably small reprimand unit could not be delivered as a fluid. |
|
| |
Maybe the previous( poorly reviewed) Gummy Launcher /link/ idea of mine would serve. The acid and the schadenfreude work in either application. |
|
| |
There's actually a category for this. (link) Ideas ranging from spraying water to downright destroying the offending tailgater's car. |
|
| |
This one's pretty kind compared to some others. |
|
| |
Reading it, I thought for sure this was a Xenzag idea. [+] |
