I don't usually do anything because I have the only red Nismo in my town, and its easy for someone to spot it. My friend did pull an airsoft guy on some redneck when he cut in front of me and gave me the finger lol. Yeah.. he was way, way back from then on lol.

Is houkouonchi a guy because it looks like he has nail polish on this thumbnail. If houkouonchi is a female, she sure has man hands.

Having had a gun pointed out the window at me after giving someone the finger, I thoroughly agree.
Just as dangerous as a gun is the soccer mom with a cell phone. When she cries foul to the cops, who's he going to believe? (Hint: Not the dude in the fast car.)

I didn't read through this whole thread because I'm sure it contains enough material to warrant my response.
It's not about you. Chances are, the guy using their windshield washer actually needed to see. Unless, of course, you were riding his a** and he sprayed you to teach you a lesson, in which case, you deserved it.
Take a deep breath and repeat after me... It's not about me.
Once you get that through your head, you'll be one less person likely to be part of a road rage statistic.

The only type of road 'retaliation' I have ever done is spraying back when I got sprayed and flashing people with high-beams (which is pretty rare). I have maybe done what I did in the video on 3 other occurrences.

Rather than flash honk or do anything else it makes the most sense to me to do it back to them so if they are ignorant they will get the message that they are spraying **** on people driving behind them and will stop doing it. There is almost never a good excuse for doing it randomly like that as it probably could have been done *before* getting on the freeway or when someone is far enough behind you that it wont hit them (they have to be pretty far away).

I would honestly be surprised if it does not bother someone at all when this happens to them. Yes many will do nothing about it but at least I can say that person who I sprayed back certainly wasn't ignorant about what they did at least from that point on. Whether or not they keep doing it is anyone's guess.

I just hate it when people drive in a way that pays no attention to the consequences of other people on the road. Another example that was given is driving slowly in the fast lane (maybe these people would argue they are doing the speed limit? i duno?). Another one is people who are in the right most lane and stop at a stoplight and the lane has enough room for two cars but they stop in the middle of the lane so people can't turn right and have to wait through the light.

And of course there are the people that seem to have no idea that cleaning their windshield while driving at freeway speeds sprays a bunch of crap on the person that is behind them.
The idea that you can teach people a lesson, or that it is your responsibility to fulfill that role is retarded.
Get over it, and get over yourself.
Fix yourself before you invest so much energy in trying to fix other people.

While I agree with your point, that last sentence is pretty funny coming from a guy arguing over the internet about this

Awwwww sh*t. Pwned.

If I can save this guy from himself while preventing the senseless waste of washer fluid, my sacrifice is worthwhile.

I don't worry or even really notice when people spray while the car is moving. I only ever use it if I need to in order to see. Like when the roads are covered in salt and it gets all on my windshield. I don't think retaliating to something minor that happens on the road is really worth it. You never know how the other person will react. I was stopped at a light one night in a car with 4 of my friends (I wasn't driving). There was this guy right next to us and he just kept staring at us. This light seemed to take forever and were all having this weird stare down with him because he would not look away. As a joke, one of my friends pulled out his phone and took a picture of the guy with really bright flash from his camera (it was like 1-2 am). The guy was like blinded by the flash at first and then got out of his car. He opened the trunk and headed towards it. We didn't stay to find out what he had in there and just ran the red light.

Lesson learned. Some people are just crazy and you don't want to provoke them.

Like all the Virginia mid-a members. Steve's been known to go for his thong if someone provokes him.

By "provokes him" you mean "bends over in his line of sight."
