Car drivers use their window washers when your behind them.......
either they are totally oblivious to the fact that the spray goes onto the bike....and into onto the riders visor..:smt072
or
they do it to pXss you off....:smt097

Most people don't realise just how far behind them it actually goes.

it's even more annoying when the jets are aimed right over the car - and the driver keeps on squirting more up in the air, totally baffled as to why their windscreen isn't clean yet! :lol:

Never have a fantastic problem with that - unless someone is deliberately taking the ****, in which case......

Other than that, it's free visor wash and usually a little welcome.

This pi$$es me off soo much!! I was pulled up behind a car a while ago and I could see the driver talking to his kids, then his kids turned around, started laughing whilst the driver put the jets on. I was not a happy bunny!!

I couldn't move from where I was and I didn't want to pi$$ the idiot off incase he really got stupid. I still have his reg, vehicle make and model memorised though and it happened like 5 months ago!!:smt097:smt067

I get it when in the car with the roof down, people in front have to wash there windows once I'm behind them. Not had it happen on the bike yet.

Just after i bought my first car a few years ago, was at some lights, pulled the lever as you do, one of my jets was oddly MILES off, squirted over the person in a convertible just back to the left of me! "Sorrryyyyyyyyyy.............." :p

Yeah I do it all the time to cars behind me. My washer jets do hit the the windscreen perfectly, but the slipstream carries the water over and sprays behind me. Do it when I'm being tailgated a lot. Not done it to a bike tho, but get it done to me. I usually just pass them and offer them my middle finger.

Heheh, one time we were parked under a tree, and when we were leaving we were talking through the window about something, dad squirted his washers to clean the crap off from the tree, and soaked her :D Class. Not on purpose, of course.

If I had my visor open and got squirted I'd be less than impressed with the driver.. don't know what I'd do though.

I look at it as free visor cleaner.

And I like the smell. :cool:
