I wouldn't want to do that either.  The gadget I would build for dispensing the
sand would be extremely unobtrusive.  The tailgater would be aware that for some
reason, he's suddenly getting some kind of debris from the car he's following,
likely chalk it up to sand on the road from some leaky sand-hauling truck. and
back off.  The "back off" part is the thing I'm looking to have happen.
