Whip out that can of silly string and have at it while next to or in front of them. They'll think your bike is either being over friendly or melting. Either of which should wake them up that they're drive a 1-1/2-2 ton plus vehicle.
If you're very artistic maybe even spell something backwards on their windshield?  |
Let's do the math.
You're on a 500 lb motorcycle, right next to someone who already isn't paying attention to how they're herding a 3000 lb car. Now you startle them.
Ever hear the Bill Cosby skit about scaring Fat Albert with a Frankenstein monster? The last line: ". . .I forgot that I was BEHIND him . . !"
From where I'm sitting, it's counterproductive to get someone to pay more attention to their driving by getting them to run over you.
Oh, yeah, BTW, doing something like that is a criminal offense . . .
