Sell a bumper sticker that says "How's My Driving? Call (800) 123-4567.
A taped message hurls abuse at the caller.
Pretty sweet.

You'd really only get callers when you had done something to piss them off (intentionally of course), so abuse is always appropriate. |
|
| |
If you did get a call saying how well you drive, the loser who called would deserve abuse anyway. |
|
| |
You could set it up like this: "press 1 to praise my driving, press 2 to criticze my driving, press 3 to ask me out on a date." Even if you think somone calling to praise or ask you out on a date is worthy of abuse, you can tailor the resulting abuse to the situation, |

In the UK (and elswhere I presume) there are 'Abuse Lines' which you can phone up and get an ear-full. Quite what purpose this serves is beyond me. However, I think that anyone who didnt recognize the premium rate 0898 code deserves everyhing they get. |

Also, you could abuse your victim for using a phone whilst driving. |

Incidently 'Max Power' magazine once published a free cover sticker which read "How's my driving? - Call 999 you flippin road captin!" |

One dubious sticker from a few years ago was absolutely guaranteed to piss off somebody -- in fact, anybody who read it: "Don't like my driving? Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT." (As if the I'm-just-following-my-hood-ornament driving of their owners weren't enough of an insult.) I only saw this brilliant riposte on vehicles that wouldn't look much different if you took a 9-pound sledge hammer to them; maybe someone did. I sure wanted to. Never let it be said that you can't get attention or make money by stirring up lousy karma. |

Actually, you can have a lot of fun calling one of these 'How's My Driving Lines'. Just tell them that you've seen the driver do 31 MPH in a 30 zone, or that he's parked near a school and must be a paedophile, or you didn't like the way he looked at you as you overtook him, or he needs a shave etc. The list goes on and on. |
