Short answer, it’s not. It’s effectively legal because the circle Venn Diagram of those who would roll coal and have Punisher/Back the Blue stickers on their trucks and absolutely zero enforcement, but it’s TECHNICALLY illegal.
I’m in NY, we have annual inspections and imo anyone doing this shouldn’t pass. The DMV has no fucks to give, let them see how far they get fighting them.
Unfortunately a lot of the mods to make it happen are designed to not be noticed by the DMV inspectors. It’s a whole industry committed to industriously dumping as much soot into the atmosphere. If only that industriousness could be used for good; good doesn’t make as much money or “own the libs” as much as obnoxiously killing the Earth, I guess.
I got coal rolled or whatever. Hopped in my car and follow the fuck to the grocery store. Keyed the ever loving FUCK out of both sides of his truck, actually damaged my key a little. Big ass sine wave up and down both sides of the entire thing. Drove off laughing into the sunset.
It’s interesting, normally I’m a pretty mellow, non-confrontational person and am normally horrified at the idea of vandalizing someone else’s property for any reason, but after I was subject to that cloud of death smoke it awoke something in me and I just snapped. Everyone has their limits I suppose.
It’s such a senseless aggression and as manly as kicking a dog. It’s difficult to not put it in some sort of check—it took me a mile to realize I wasn’t watching engine trouble, but some raging asshole toy with an EV and a complete stranger’s safety for the fun of it. Who the fuck does that? What has to be broken in you to enjoy that shit? Agh. Just please be careful when you engage with the death cult, they aren’t working with a full deck.
‘Rolling coal’ has entered the chat
Especially when they’re actually burning Diesel fuel… There’s no coal involved in it.
it’s about the soot, not the coal.
I saw my first ‘coal roller’ recently. Wtfffff. How is that legal? Such a spectacular display of myopic dickishness.

You should be ashamed of the terrible thing you did! (To that poor key.)
The key will never recover.
