Here's one which should not offend the tender sensibilities of those
poor dears in their penis extensions (after all, they only kill a few
tens of thousands every year, don't they?)

To get your own back against the clueless driver *without* bringing
down the wrath of the Dibbles:

o find the car (the tricky part!)
o remove an inflator dustcap and place it on the hood in a prominent,
hard to miss position
o insert a red-tipped match into the tyre valve orifice (red end
outwards, of course). Driver's side front wheel is favourite for
this.

The threat is implicit, with no harm done.

This from Another Place.

I, uh, heard about this from, uh, a friend who sometimes gets irritated at
*ssholes who intentionally take two parking places (especially the SUV's
that park diagonally in two spaces...those really [censored] me, er, my friend,
off).

Anyway, my friend carries a small travel-size container of shampoo (fits
easily in a jersey pocket or a car door pocket). When a parking lot
scofflaw is spotted, it's a simple matter to walk by the car, flip open the
top of the shampoo, and then deliver a big glug onto the windshield. Takes
less than a second, and can be done very surreptitiously. One of these
days, I'll...I mean, my friend, will have to wait in the parking lot to see
what happens when the *sshole turns on their windshield wipers.

I generally don't want to threaten or provoke anybody, or
get revenge (New Year's resolution to be more pleasant &
mellow.) And I don't see how such antics could make
things better.

Here's a less provocative measure.

Our provincial crown corporation auto insurance agency
has a freely available pamphlet called RoadSense,
a PDF version of which is available on-line at
http://www.icbc.com/Licensing/lic_utility_resman_drivers.html

wherein it is written in chapter 6, page 83, and even has
an explanitory diagram on the following page:
(http://www.icbc.com/Licensing/MV2075_Ch06_(012005).pdf)

"A significant number of crashes involving
cyclists result from side-swiping. Make sure there is enough
space if you want to pass a cyclist. On a narrow road, wait for a
clear, straight stretch that will allow you to pull out and give
the cyclist room. Remember, you are allowed to cross a single
solid yellow line when passing a cyclist, provided you can do it
safely. On a multi-lane road, change lanes rather than risk
crowding the cyclist."

I'm sure other jurisdictions will have similar publications
available.

Just print the appropriate section out, and nail it to the
hood/bonnet of the car. Just kidding. It'll do to just
leave a copy of the pamphlet, open at the appropriate page
on there. And hope doing so doesn't set the car alarm off.

Chances are, that won't make things better either. But at
least one has the ethical high ground, if the satisfaction
of doing something is desired.

cheers,
Tom

Around here the cops will pull motorists over for passing too close to a
cyclist. with that kind of return on my tax dollars, why should I waste my
time being an [censored]?
