Being found guilty of knowingly modifying a vehicle, or knowingly operating a modified vehicle, and performing the act of “rolling coal” should result in loss of driving license in all states for no less than 10 years.
Not that my proposed “Rolling Coal Proves You Have a Tiny Innie Penis and By the Way, Your Truck Nuts Means Your Truck is Actually Trans Act” would be passed any time soon. Or ever, certainly not at the rate the House is fucking up.
But DOJ going after the supply of parts for modifying diesel engines is something, at least!
Loss of driving license and vehicle will be seized and scrapped. Maybe the metal can be used for an electric car.
Better. The offending vehicle should be seized and donated to Pacific Northwest commune flannel hippies who will run it on vegetable oil and never, ever wash it.
They will delete any emissions equipment because its excessively complicated and a pain to work on and then run it on vegetable oil which is even less efficient and will continue to pollute the environment by driving on worse economy and higher emissions.
But keep going.
Nice creative writing assignment. Well done!
Thanks. I actually know about this stuff as opposed to lots of people 'round these parts, obviously.
I like it!
Adding it to my proposal.
The Stop Motorists Ostentatious Loosening of Particulate Pollutants, or SMOLPP, Act
Mostly agree except for the small penis bashing. We need to end small-dick hatred.
Fair. While I’d defend the name as being targeted at only the offenders’ insecurities, which also includes the truck-nuts-trans quip, I understand how it could cause a larger negative cultural impact to a group or groups that is/are already unduly disparaged.
Additional group studies will be performed and suggestions are welcome.
Perhaps the “Coal Rollers Are Pissants, Fundamentally Undeserving Cars/trucKs Act”
It has a certain je ne sais quois, I think, but needs more work.
Rolling coal is just dumb. You can make more power and pollute less than factory with the parts available today. Rolling coal is just wasting fuel and showing everyone you’re a douchebag.
Eh, people should be able to modify their cars for fun and education. It’s a really piece of shit thing to do that has no performance benefit though…
Too harsh even for these idiots. You can’t function without a car in America. It would leave to poverty through job loss which isn’t the goal. We already have penalties this: you can’t get a successful inspection with an illegally modified car. Then you can’t get registered, can’t get insurance, it’s illegal to drive, etc. That’s functionally the same thing but now they have to pay, potentially fines too, to get their car fixed or receive recurring tickets that would eventually lead to dissolution of driver’s license. And if law enforcement sees an illegally modified car, they can issue tickets and require another inspection.
You can’t function without a car in America.
That’s exactly why we should take peoples’ licenses away more often: maybe then they’d give a shit about changing that!
The point is that if you do that, you’re screwing them over in a way that has a much greater impact that initially observed. If your point is to lead directly to destitution as a punishment for rolling coal, then just say that. Push for incredibly high fines instead, that’s not veiled.
If you don’t want them to drive that car then you could impound the car. Which is itself a fine in the tens of thousands. Unreasonable for most people.
No, the lack of walkable zoning and infrastructure for other transportation methods is screwing them over. The court has nothing to do with it.
And again, I’m an enthusiastic supporter of taking people’s license away for lots of things, not just rolling coal. In fact, I think the driver’s test ought to be difficult enough that a decent fraction of people shouldn’t even be capable of passing it to begin with.
Good. Such an idiotic trend.
Man riding a motorcycle in my state with these fuckin idiots was awful. Even with the helmet I got a waff of this garbage and not to mention it sticking to my clothes on some occasions. It’s not even denialism it’s just wilful harm. Luckily the number of these idiots seems to have gone down over the last few years.
Same here. Gotta love riding into a cloud and not knowing what the fuck is on the other side of it. And you’re correct that it’s just willful harm. They do it on purpose to hurt people.
Try a prius with a busted a/c. Nothing on this fucking planet makes those inbreds want to billow a huge carfart more than seeing a prius with its windows down. It’s to the point where if I’m at a light next to a truck that sounds diesel, I roll up the windows before it turns green.
Floor it when it turns green, you’ll leave them sitting and then laugh at them when they go flying past you 30mph over the speed limit
I’d never even heard of this before. Fuuuuck these people.
Come on out to my little corner of red hat hell and you’ll hear/see/smell it on the reg.
Try a different distro
Tee hee!
At least they let you know who they are though, flying flags in the back of a truck that cost significantly more than their housing, or if they’re not in the truck they wear their dunce caps with pride.
Teenager murdered a cyclist when attempting this but instead drove over them. Was in Texas, great surprise.
Yeah, they are generally the worst sort.
Look at this case -
So wait a second…. Not only is it that these idiots are buying trucks that are bad for the environment- they’re PURPOSEFULLY modifying them to be even worse?
I haven’t believed in god my entire life, but I think I’m going to start- so I can pray that another COVID comes around to take the pieces of shit out.
Enough is enough. They’ll don’t belong here anymore.
Not only that, their vehicles may not work as efficiently and burn more gas when running.
and then they complain about gas prices
I’m pretty sure that if I go out and remove the catalytic converter from my vehicle, and then drive it, thst it’s a $2,500 fine. (Im in the US.)
Perhaps a similar fine is in order for people who have made their diesel engine intentionally run dirty.
Now I will blame part of this issue on the difficulties associated with keeping diesel engine emissions equipment alive. I feel these systems could be made more durable.
Funnily enough, removing your cat. converter is illegal, but getting caught without one isn’t. Unless the Fed watches you remove it, they won’t fine you.
Totally agree, though. Fuck coal rollers.
This is because it’s usually a Crack head that took the liberty of removing it for you
Didn’t even have to read the article to know it would be about rolling coal
Hope the idiots get fined to hell and back
Coal rollers
Traitors
It’s the same picture
These people are willfully trying to make humans go extinct and make our lives worse. I’m ok with the death penalty.
Tires are expensive. Sidewall damage can’t be repaired
Something I keep noticing about the brodozers I see is the tires are almost always bald. And I wonder if they’re having trouble with maintainence. Diesel engines are expensive when they break.
It’s is an own-the-libs deal, as you’ve probably guessed.
Wouldn’t it be great if someone had some sort of AI computer software that would notify you if you made a grammatical error? The absolute state of journalism today.
lol that’s an obvious editing error. You’ve never tried to write or you’d instantly recognize it
I gotta say it’s nice to see a reduction in “you have a typo” rebuttals over the years, buddy that you replied to notwithstanding. Most of the ones I can think of that I’ve seen recently are more “fyi the saying uses these other words that sound similar” rather than “omg you made a spelling/grammar mistake, therefore your argument is invalid”.
I remember the grammar nazi years at Reddit, was not fun. Being pedantic for pedantic’s sake is no different than being ad hominem. People who have no argument attack the arguer instead.
