This happens to me from time to time but this morning just took the biscuit!! Evil or Very Mad Wink

I was on the motorway on the way to work behind this car in the fast lane waiting to overtake him. Wink He then decided to clean his windscreen with a nice long soaking, on top of this one of his nozzles was clearly pointing up in the air and not going anywhere near his windscreen! Shocked Wink Cue me getting a visor and jacket full of strong car windscreen soap. Sick Wink
He MUST have been aware of me behind him, but obviously didn't think of anyone else but himself - idiot! Evil or Very Mad Wink I had to wipe the sodding mess off my visor before undertaking him and making it clear how I felt about this... Embarassed Laughing Wink Wink

So... revenge for any future issues I have = Wink

1x Switch to fit on the handlebars Wink
1x 12v water pump wired to the battery and switch Wink
1x small water tight tank to fit under bike seat filled with dark coloured water (maybe ink added!) - only joking there! Wink Wink
2x length of piping leading from the tank, through the pump and fixed into small holes out the back of the fairing with the outlets pointing at a slight upwards angle. Wink

Can't be that hard to achieve surely!? Twisted Evil Wink Wink

Wink Wink Wink Wink

Or you could leave a sensible gap from the vehicle in front, especially at motorway speeds Thumbs Up

1) There is no such thing as a fast lane.

2) Dont ride so close in future.

There you go, sorted. Thumbs Up

If you want to learn how to end up a permanent fixture in the rear of a Mondeo, then talk to Feasty.

I was on the motorway in the outside lane overtaking a few lorries. My windscreen was pretty dirty, so I wasn't making as much progress as I'd like. I saw a bike 3 inches from my rear bumper. I thought I'd better increase my speed, so he's drop back. Used my screen wash, and put my foot down. Then the crazy biker untook me and flipped the bird. What's all that about. Maybe I'll knock him off next time.

Getting squirted by someone's wash/wipe troubled you so much that you had to come home and post about it?

I forsee a lifetime of ulcers for this one.

Don't suppose you'd like the idea of an attempted murder charge if the car then crashed as a result of this?

And how can you overtake the vehicle in front if you are both in the fast lane?

They were tailgaiting and trying to force the driver in front to move over. This would never have been a problem if they left a sensible gap between themselves and the vehicle in front.

Lol stop it stop it!!! Laughing Laughing

You're all making me laugh so much I'll have a seizure in a minute!
Geez, I don't think I've ever seen so many high horses in BCF before. Especially all taking the same jumps to conclusions too! Rolling Eyes

Why on earth would you assume I was tailgating and trying to force a car to move over just because I said I was in the fast lane waiting to overtake!? Oh, and it is called a fast lane - because I've just called it a fast lane thank you. If you can't cope with the struggle of converting 'fast lane' to 'overtaking lane' in your little mind then I feel sorry for you I really do. Rolling Eyes

Okay, to add to this scenario:
I was at least 3 car lengths away from the car in front if not more, he was overtaking traffic in the middle lane as was I, there was then going to be a large gap after this in which he could move over to let me pass. He chose not too, instead he cleared his windscreen whilst remaining in the fast lane. I slowly closed the gap still expecting him to move over, he didn't. So I did the terrible thing no other biker has ever attempted to do before and undertook him.
In the past I've come across several postings in BCF from annoyed bikers because cars have inadvertantly sprayed them with screen wash, so I know I'm not the only one. Thumbs Up And that stuff travels further than think you know, especially with a nozzle pointing upwards. If I'd been tailgaiting him it probably would have completely missed me... now there's an idea! Idea

The two second rule roughly works out at one car length per 10mph. If you were going faster than 40 then you were too close.

Hold on a sec... Feasty, you're suggesting potentially causing an accident by firing a harmful substance at a car driver - be it ink or brake fluid or paint stripper - and yet you have the brass neck to rate our posts down?

You've got issues. Seriously mate, you've got issues.

If you think you're so 'above' car drivers that you can intentionally damage their vehicles and/or cause an accident then you really need to have a good long hard think about your position as a motorcyclist.

Its called being 'holier than thou' and most of us grew out of it when we were seventeen.

The guy who squirted you, I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose. I'm sure it annoyed him as much as it annoyed you that the washer fluid didn't end up on his windscreen. You just need to remember that some people aren't that practical, and won't go to any effort to make sure the washer jets on their car point the right way. Its not that they are out to get you, its just a slight mechanical ineptitude.

If you can justify destroying a cars paintjob on the grounds of a minor mechanical ineptitude, then I'd say you need to go and see a psychiatrist.

So you closed the gap to force the drive to move into the middle lane, but he decided to wash you and his windscreen.

I have been sprayed with screen wash, but they turned them side ways and squirted me as I overtook them.

Could have been worse he could have put his brakes on, then there might have been a thread about a dead biker.

I got slightly damp when following a car because of the spray he kicked up from a wet road. I'm going to petrol bomb his house. Thumbs Up

To be absolutely honest here, we are always complaining the cars dont see us, but when it suits us we say he did see me and tried to fuck me up, truth be said he probably didnt know you were there. little bit more here.
We are open to the elements by choice, rain, snow, birdshit, joys of riding Smile Thumbs Up

I am seriously disappointed though in your inabilities to forsee a thread full of tongue-in-cheek and purposely over the top reaction to a slight annoyance.
Never mind, just don't fall off those horses of yours and you'll be fine! Hurt
