This may give an idea to a budding electrical whizz -

A guy in a boat club i was in had electrified his boat with one of those cattle fence things following a spate of robberies.

You could potentially do this with a car with you safely inside.

The basic idea is:

Using a high voltage generator (like something out of those plasma lamps) connect one output terminal to the chassis of your car and the other to a conductive strip (like one of the rubberised carbon anti-static jobbies). Make sure the strip is well insulated from the car chassis and is in contact with road.

Anyone touching the car from the outside should have a non-lethal belt to keep them off.

Obviously you need to turn it off to enter / leave car.

easy start would be good to get them with because you can carry it in your car door pocket with out the feds wondering why and when you get it in your eye it wrecks breath it in it makes you choke and once you have got the ***** with it threaten to light a match while your waiting for the police to come and pick em up.

But what i think we seem to be forgetting here is we are driveing one of the fastest vehicles on the road so apart from when they ram you and fake an accident the best thing to do is use your right foot and scooby off !!! (as long as you leave a gap at traffic lights from the car in front)

I find that pepperspray is not really effective. No, a sawn off shotgun definitely works better though this is probably illegal too?
