Keep people from tailgating

In todays world of driving im sure almost everyone has been tailgated by some retard at least once in your driving career, so I decided to make it so I can shoot water out the back of my car, and trust me this is endless hours of fun!


First thing you need is a water pump and the windshield nozzle (or rear nozzle if you only want one line of water) you can pick these up at almost any junk yard for next to nothing, also I recommend getting the tank the pump sat beside, I still have to get one since my 2l Coke bottle sometimes seems to "misfire" i guess the term would be.

Next you should stop by Home Depot and pick up some tubing it's like 5$ for almost 20ft witch is more than enough, make sure it fits snug to the pump and the nozzle.

Now I assume most of you have some basic wiring knowledge. You need to run a wire from your trunk (were the pump will sit) to your dash. Next find a wire to splice into (I used my neon lights wire as long as it's 12v your fine, you can also pick up a fuse splitter for like 15$ there really useful)

Now that you ran a wire from your trunk and spliced it into a power source you need to cut this wire and install a switch in it so you can power it on and off.

**If you splice into a wire it's a good idea to install an inline fuse in the wire going to the pump it should only need a 1-2 amp fuse.

Next ground the wire to somewhere in your trunk. The screws for the taillights work well.


Hook up positive to positive on the pump and do the same for the negative.

Look for the rubber gommet in your trunk leading to outside, it should be a bit lower than your taillights and you will need to peel back some of the overlay. Pull the gommet out and run the hose through it towards the license plate so it dangles in front of your license plate.


Unscrew one of the screws from the light above the license plate and put the end of the nozzle up there (you may need to break off the clips that were on the nozzle). Now this part is kinda tricky take the tube in one hand and holding the nozzle in the other while the nozzle is in the screw hole push the nozzle tip into the hose and make sure its in there tight so it doesn't move around to much.

Now hook up all the tanks and hoses in your trunk and your good to go!!

Enjoy!

Finished Project!

Try not to use coke bottle, its only temporary

Good way to promote road rage.

Some other solutions:
-Pull over and let them by
-Ignore them
-Speed up

You could just use wiper fluid on the front, as it will still hit people behind you. Another good way to start road rage would be to tap the brakes.

I personally use the e-brake and scare them

That's an even better idea. Just get some cheap stuff from the gas station

Take this for what it is worth...no offense.
Most people never get past the daydream stage of design on a project like this. After about 2 minutes a little voice in your head should begin telling you how wreckless this would be and you move on with your life. If for some reason the little voice is missing, put your idea online so we can all supplement your conscience with good advice: Take the 3 alternatives to this project instead. Sell your current work on ebay to someone less mature than yourself. Thank yourself later for dodging a bullet. That is all.

I love it. Don't think anything of these ppl saying it's immature. What do you call tailgating? Get them a dose of their own medicine. Very creative.

Agreed.. people get shot all the time for nothing, let alone intentionally antagonizing some fü˘ker on the road.
I suggest just being the bigger man, and letting them pass you, then you can live another day to enjoy your prelude!

I think this idea would get better feedback if instead of using the sprayer to hit ppl tailgating you, surprise someone who happens to walk by the back of your car... now THAT would be funny

This got me laughing. . .it makes me think of high school. A friend of mine had to drive his dad's Jeep Cherokee around for a while because his truck was in the shop. Well, the rear washer nozzle had broken off so it squirted just like that. It was non-stop fun. Plus, that is when gas was like $1 a gallon, so we could afford to drive around and do that all day!!!

Another fun thing to do with windshield washer fluid squirters is to reroute one of the hoses to underneath the dash of a friend's car, aiming right at the crotch. Then hook the switch to it up to the brake switch. Yeah, talk about hilarious!!!!! Make sure you are in the car the first time they hit the brakes, hahahahaha. It is most fun to do in the middle of winter when it is really cold. . .

bwahahaha, old old old friends in high school were given their parents early 90s dodge caravan, and the rear water nozzle was turned backwards and rotted into that position. They would do this exact thing all the time, and with their heigh it would just land on ppl's hoods or directly on windshields - great fun

cmon, i dont see that any worse than it raining outside.. i wouldn't deem that dangerous..

what's dangerous IS TAILGATING.

i get it everyday on the way home from work at 330. i take highways back home, about 15 minutes. i don't have a/c so i always have my windows down and an arm hanging out. the main highway is 3 lanes, so i stay in the middle, while the fast folks go by on the left, and the million on and off ramp people are on the right. i drive anywhere from below the speed limit of 65 to about 70, whatever the flow of traffic is.

when some moron wants to tail gate, i usually don't break a step in whatever im doing. at worst, i let off the gas slowly. i never do any brake checking - the last thing i want is to be rear ended at 70 mph and be shoved into traffic that's going a lot faster on one side, or people going nuts on the other side getting on and off the highway.

to hell with jerks who cant change a lane to pass......... on the rarest of occasions i have been known to fly the bird. that's always so satisfying for some reason.

a guy was just stabbed to death here in tulsa for cutting another guy off on an offramp. i don't let things slide because of this, but i do because i just don't care enough to go insane about things. i still don't think spraying water is going to hurt a damn soul, especially since i've been sprayed numerous times just being behind someone who was cleaning their windshield... not to mention, i've driven in downpours before. so what follows is a little off topic, but for those of you who DO get violently pissed off, just don't go stabbing anyone.. or killing them.

here's the link

Road Rage May Have Led To Fatal Stabbing

It began where Highway 75 and I-244 merge, according to police. The Pontiac Hines was in apparently pulled in front of a white Chevy Silverado with two men and two children inside. The truck followed Hines for several miles to the off-ramp on Delaware Avenue.

Police say Hines and the driver of the Pontiac along with the two men from the truck got out of their vehicles at the end of the off-ramp.

Hines was stabbed several times in the chest, police say. The two men in the truck took off, going back west on 244, Hines was taken to the QuikTrip where he died before medical technicians could get a chance to save him.

AAA says road rage is responsible for close to 1,200 deaths every year across the country.

Police are releasing very little suspect information at this time.

Do what some one else recomended, and use some cheep gas in there. Right beside the squirter, ad a b-b-q lighter, and rig it so that both buttons are side by side. Hit both at the same time. Bam, flame thrower.
