I did not know this was deliberate?
I always thought it was a malfunction of the vehicle!

Rolling coal (also spelled rollin' coal) is the practice of modifying a diesel engine to deliberately emit large amounts of black or grey diesel exhaust, containing soot and incompletely combusted diesel. Rolling coal is used as a form of anti-environmentalism protest.[1] In some jurisdictions the practice is illegal, due to it violating clean air laws.

I have never heard of it, but it doesn’t surprise me.

If there is one thing the Wizard of Oz has taught me, it is not to trust school teachers on bicycles.

Ew.

Maybe it is accidental, but I saw this only yesterday. For a substantial stretch of road I had to keep my sleeve over my face.

Yesterday was the first I had heard the term....and that it can be deliberate and targeted...so not a malfunction of the vehicle as I always thought (and I'm sure sometimes is) but rather, possibly, a 'malfunction of attitude' ?
