for me it depends on the situation.

if i can get out of the way i will, i really don't wana find out what a hood ornament up the *** at 50 mph feels like.

if i can't or the motherf*cker is really persistent, i keep the left chest pocket on my jacket stocked with ball bearings and marbles

I have found that weaving rapidly from side to side in my lane will often get them to back off. They dont know what the Hell you are doing and dont want to have to be so observant . Does not always work but usually does.

I just give them a signal with my hand but usually just move over, then I give them another signal when there beside me.

Not sure about throwing stuff at the windshields, they may react with swirving wildy and lose control and end up wiping out people driving down the road that have nothing to do with the situation. Or even worse they could be packing and shoot your ***, or just flat out ram you. I know everyone has seen all this crap in the news about road rage, i'm all sset with dying before my time. I just move over when I can and ignore the morons, life is too short and isn't worth it.

Nobody likes tailgaters . Doesn't matter if you are on your bike or in your car. It still pisses ya off (yes you don't have to state the obvious,I know it's a lot more dangerous on the bike). Short of a causing damage to their car, hand gestures, getting into a road rage fight.. What are you going to do about it. Me anymore I just let go around me. If they are in that big of hurry I don't need to be holding them up any.

If the light is red, you do have to make a complete stop. Ask me how I know...
