There has long been a problem with bats attempting to surf the slipstream caused by a car's windshield on the M5 motorway just north of Bristol. When the bats misjudge the angle, the driver suddenly can't see out any more and is likely to jam on their brakes. But they must be communicating with each other how much fun it is, or there would never have been more than one bat to try this.
