That sort of reminds me of someone I knew slightly (through kid's school) about 30 years ago.
An interesting and talented chap. He was a fireman.
His passion was an old Austin 7. Being an ancient car it was not quick and he got really annoyed when modern vehicles followed very closely.
So he rigged up a small hand pump, a bottle of oil and a pipe that ejected the oil through (or beside) the exhaust pipe. Anyone following too closely got a squirt of oil.
Eventually someone got annoyed and reported him. He was prosecuted and, as I recall, fined a rather excessive amount for the minor transgression. I don't recall which law he was deemed to have broken.
