No harm but plenty foul.

Snow tailgaters are the worst.
My mechanic and I designed a Spyhunteresque smoke-screen that would only take about $30 and an hour of time (with the right tools) to install.

Take a generic wiper-fluid resevoir, mount the fluid pump to it, hang the tank of the fire-wall, run the power and the switch and then tap a fluid fitting into your exhaust manifold. Fill the resevoir with brake fluid. When necessary, a one or two second burst should generate enough smoke (which incidentaly causes a tremendous headache) to dissuade such close pursuit.
