Tailgating (or "bump drafting", as I call it), when properly done, would require that YOU rig something up on your roof, because the sand wouldn't have a chance to get to the road OR the windshield before the following car passed it. This little 'thing' would certainly attract the attention of the local constabulary and get your OWN sorry butt into stir, don't you think? -- C.R.
