C U Spray Me

It happens, usually on a long trip, the washer fluid runs dry. What to do? If the roads are wet enough you can tailgate someone and accumulate enough moisture kicked up from their tires to improve the situation somewhat. But when do you really notice? When it’s not wet enough to do this and the sun hits the grime just so. Many an accident occurs as a result of this.

With a little inter-car communications and backwards-facing nozzles this can be resolved. When in need, push the Spray Me <request> button to broadcast for suitably equipped cars in front of you. The request buttons in their cars will blink indicating a visually impaired driver in need of assistance. A push of their button signals back to you that they are available to help, causing the request button in your car to blink and start a beacon light flashing on the back of their car.

Pull up behind one of them and push the Spray Me <now> button. A hefty dose of cleaning fluid will grace your windshield via a beautiful twirling vortex. Unfortunately you will not see this because your windshield is still dirty, but hey, a few swipes of the wipers and you’re no longer a road hazard. Push the <thank you> button.
