Is it safe to drive your car if you accidentally put window washer in the coolant reservoir?

I wouldn't drive the car . What I would do is use a cheap plastic turkey
baster bought from Wal*Mart or another store and use that to suck out
the window washer fluid from the engine coolant reservoir
( I don't know if it mixes or floats on top , if it mixes I would remove all the
contents of the engine coolant reservoir and then replace it with a 50 / 50
mix of the correct type of antifreeze and preferably distilled water
( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician , just what I would do )

You accidentally put window washer fluid in the coolant container - what's the damage?
Probably no damage, especially if you only filled the reservoir with it and not the whole cooling system. Use a turkey baster and suck up what's in the reservoir, dispose of properly. Then refill with coolant. I'm really not sure if the washer fluid will screw with the various rust inhibitors or lubricants key to the coolant. If you're really concerned, just flush the coolant and refill the system.
Accidentally put coolant in the window washer container?
Well, better to have done that as opposed to window washer fluid in the radiator. You need to drain the window washer bottle of this erroneous fluid. If enough of it gets on the car paint (as in overspray when squirting it on the windows) it could harm the finish and shine eventually. Also, coolant will not do nearly the nice cleaning job that normal window washer fluids do.
