Vehicle: Car: Tailgating
Fake Rear End   (+1, -1)  [vote for, against]
Detachable car rear to keep tail-gaters at a distance

A detachable car rear that you can trail behind you when you are being bugged by a tail-gater. As you speed up, or drive in slippery conditions, the false back will drop back to maintain a safe distance between you, without the offender being any the wiser.

And, of course, when holographic projections become available, we can substitute those.

Add a couple of explosive charges to it and you'd be in business...
