So here's the scenario:

You are driving down 1-10 with a car following the appropriate length behind you. You decide your field of vision is not optimal and choose to douse your windshield with washer fluid to optimize your view.

and the question:

Is it poor etiquette to do this with a car behind you as their windshield will inevitably be hit with over spray?


My take:

frick the person behind me. My windshield is dirty and IDGAF if I sprinkle water on the person behind me.

Iv'e been told that is in poor taste


What say the OT?

I've never thought about it. I just use it when needed.

I cleaned mine on I10 the other day and someone behind me got mad, pulled in front of me and hit me with theirs. I really was surprised as my truck was already dirty.

If you got all the way to i10 without realizing your windshield was dirty it probably isn't that dirty

I hope you do this to someone, they have a psychotic break-down and try to ram you off of the road or they open fire on you and your vehicle.

You spray their car with water, they spray your car with bullets.

I feels for the OT poors. I have this technology on my car. No need for windshield wipers:

replacing the conventional windscreen wiper with an ultrasonic forcefield. The idea is adapted from military technology used in fighter aircraft which prevents any particles from accumulating on the screen’s surface and maintain visibility.

When I pass people who are chilling in the left lane, I get in front of them and blast the windshield washer fluid to wake them up.

Being the guy behind you, I turn on the windshield wipers and use the free washer fluid

This is an inconsiderate attitude. However, I agree that there is no issue using your windshield washer fluid whenever you need to. Another car getting washer fluid over spray on it is no big deal and people shouldn't be offended or put off by it.

It's my way of angering tailgaters without brake checking. It seems harmless but really makes them angry and get the picture.

I do it when needed.

I also do it when they are too close to me and then simultaneously brake check the frick out of them... right lane only as if I am in the left lane I am only passing them getting the frick out of it.

I've only ever done that to people who follow too closely. I hold it for a count of 15 to 20 depending how far up my arse their car is and they usually back off. Although, this one time I did it and the guy pulled around in front of me and let the washer fluid flow. I just laughed but apparently he was really butt hurt about it. Sorry for partying
