I'm kinda disappointed that people seem to think that slapping a vhicle is only done to wind up the driver. On the two occations iv had to hit a car in that way it's done because I though If I didn't I might end up under under his wheels if I had not warned him.
Most of us don't have horns, and we can't shout louder than a car engine, it's seems a very good defensive measure if you ask me.
I agree entirely that slapping a vehicle is a valid defensive measure, but it does tend to provoke a disproportionate response at times. After being on the receiving end of plausible death threats for slapping a car when the driver was paying more attention to his mobile phone than his driving, and was drifting left, leaving me with little option but to bale out onto the footpath, I decided to fit an Airzound to my commuter. It's rarely used, but when it has been necessary, it seems to shock the errant drivers into driving responsibly, rather than the "You touched my car - I'm going to kill you!" reaction.
