Or, one might use caltrops. I used to fantasize about having small caltrops that I could throw under tires of vehicles that cut me off or drove too close while I was biking. Place some a little ways in front of the tires so that when the vehicle took off, it had some momentum to drive the points into the tires.

I think you are describing roofing nails. But realistically, you don't aim caltrops and you are almost assuredly only going to create collateral damage.

Not roofing nails. More like very pointy, iron jacks, at least if I were to make them. Point, though, about collateral damage, at least with an already moving vehicle. However, in my fantasies, they just disabled the vehicle ¯_/(ツ)_/¯
