Better yet, work in groups with 2-way radios, and when you *almost* get
run over, broadcast a description. Then one of your compadres can hit
the driver with cat pee in the *front*. Not in the face, mind you --
you might get it in his eyes, and that would be nasty. No, just the
shirt. And enough to soak through to the undershirt. This would
inconvenience without any actual injury to anyone. (Aiming for the
crotch would probably be a little more satisfying, but a much harder
shot to make.)
Rabbit pee would probably be reasonably effective, as well.
And easier to collect, too.
