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 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.
