Road rage?
In the summer I have been eating fruit while driving, apricots & cherries are my favorites. With the sun roof open, if you throw the apricot or cherry stones up, they hit the offending cars windscreen. Scares the c##p out of them. a bit of zigzaging on gravel roads also gets the message over. Turning the hazard flashers on sometimes works. A good long tongue on the tow bar works well.

I don't get tailgated very often (now that I don't have a 240D). If I do, I usually try to let them by. Then they can be the first one on the po-po's radar.

In the 115 220D/8 it was quite easy to access the back-up light switch under the boot of the shifter. Remember hearing a bit of tire squealing on occassion!!!

Just press on the after-burner pedal and smoke 'em out.

I had an old Chevy van in the late 80's with a worn out 292 straight 6 that had shot valve seals. Added a dodge windshield washer resivoir with pump that had Mystery oil in it. Ran tube through sa hole in the valve cover & a 2 second push of the button gave me 100 yards of a better smoke screen than the Batmobile. No one ever tailgated me twice...

I usually just drop the gear shift down one gear and dump a big black cloud out. Then they back off!
