Rolling coal is the practice of installing a tampering device to pump more diesel into a vehicle’s engine than it can handle, leading it to spew out sooty black clouds of exhaust that pollute the air.

The practice is sometimes used as a form of anti-environmental protest. Coal rollers, or the drivers who engage in the action, may intentionally target Teslas, Priuses or other electric or hybrid vehicles.

Do people decide to be this awful out of the blue? Or is some genetic defect from being inbred?

    Take a bunch of white dudes with no personality or interests of their own and expose them to manipulative content and ideas presented in a "cool" way and BAM this is what you get.

    Albertan here. Had a little Toyota truck in front of me the other day. I always liked those because my uncle had one. When the light turned green the modified exhaust spewed black smoke from a low exhaust point, nearly blinding me and smelling like hell. I wanna stick a potato in that exhaust pipe so bad.

    Out of the blue. Was driving through Norfolk a few years ago and this ford pickup decided to roll coal several times in the I-64 tunnels between Newport News and Norfolk. Dude blacked out the entire tunnel multiple times and they were clearly trying to cause a major accident. I follwed the sonofaremoved to get his plates and tried to call the highway police number but the lady on the other end refused to listen (kept pretending i was talking about normal exhaust shit) and started threatening me for reporting it.

    They fucking do this to me on my bike too. I don't even ride on the roads! It's only when I'm crossing the streets that I see cars
