I gave it some thought, and I think I know a device that could discourage taligaters and still not cause accidents or be otherwise illegal. A device that would dispense a _small_ stream of sand from the back of your car that would impinge on a car following too closely would likely cause the tailgater to back off. It would not damage his car or cause him to swerve and have an accident, as he couldn't see it coming. It wouldn't upset a motorcycle, either (but maybe its tailgating rider <G>). Any thoughts? DPH
