If someone is driving at a safe distance, they will be unaffected by my actions. It's really quite simple actually. I'm not doing it on Deerfoot or something. lol.

Driving in the gravel to shoot rocks at the person behind you is not defensive driving, regardless if they are following too close for your comfort. If a policeman saw you do this and felt you did it on purpose they could give you a ticket for careless driving.
