I have to admit, that when I'm on a motorcycle, and have someone constantly on my arse without passing me at many given chances, I keep .375 diameter steel ball bearings in my jacket pocket. One or two tossed over the shoulder seems to do the trick with little to no damage to their car.

I haven't needed it yet, but if I ever need it for protection, I carry my 1911. And before anyone goes off on the deep end about it, I'm legally licensed to carry concealed in three different states...OH, UT, and PA.

One forty cent stamp and an envelope will get you one from FL too.

Dropping bearings is too much IMHO.

They are reserved only for those that are so close that I can smell the breath of the driver...all others get a pass.
