Ugh. It appears that the “rolling coal” phenomenon is real and is being done to annoy “environmentalists” and Prius drivers. It’s also a violation of the Clean Air Act.
Purposely spewing diesel exhaust fumes from your truck onto bike riders is all fun and games, until you unknowingly do it to an off-duty cop.
Breathing exhaust is bad enough. One reader says he was the victim of a smoke screen attack.
