It's a great way to convert money into carbon soot though.
I hope this enforce to the point that all the assholes in my state that have rig thier trucks to do this can go to fucking jail or have their trucks and licenses revoked.
It's only illegal if it's enforced, and the people who roll coal are the same types of people that would enforce the rules.

Can we please actually enforce the rules on drivers though? These are so obviously illegal yet nothing is done.

Fuck it, hit 'em hard. Been buying off eBay for 20-years, I like 'em. But this seems like a fine place to put our collective foot down and say, "No. You can't do that."
I was shafted by an Ebay seller who was nasty and awful. He acted like he was too stupid to understand why his item was not at all what I ordered. He had a 99.4% approval rating. I thought how the hell was that possible? I found out when I went to leave my negative rating and Ebay would not allow me to post the negative rating.
A seller shipped me a phone that was much worse than what I bought, and it wasn't even the same brand. I returned it. However, the seller wouldn't ship the right phone but still had the listing saying several were available. I couldn't leave a negative review, which makes no sense, and I reported it to ebay, but as of yet nothing has happened to the seller that I can tell.
It's really disappointing. I want an Amazon alternative, but it's tough if I'm going to have to go through this crap.

Good. Why not ban those oversized SUVs while you're at it? They're a serious danger to children and they're not even good at hauling stuff!

I drive a Prius. Assholes "roll coal" when they drive next to me all the time. I don't even get it. They're not even giving me shit for having an electric car, they're giving me shit because I pay less for gas than they do.
No, it's because of their fragile ego.
Sure, but they do it specifically to Priuses. Electric cars too, but also Priuses and other hybrids. I've heard so from other hybrid owners and seen them do it too. It is definitely about their fragile ego, but I think it's also just because they're idiots.
They feel threatened because they think they'll be forced to drive a small hybrid one day. Which bothers then because, yeah... their fragile egos
Jesus H. Christ, these assholes are terrified of imaginary fascism and vote for real fascism...
Because my fascism where I fuck over people I don’t like is better than your fascism where you give me health care, clean air, and affordable education.

I'm fortunate enough to be able to walk to and from work every day. These "roll coal" bastards just hate me for it. I think it must really chap their assess to see little ol' me bopping down the street listening to my tunes and not needing an emotional support truck the way they do.

Wait I thought people were just tampering to get higher performance or something, idk. But they're literally doing it to make the vehicle spew worse than it already does? Wtf and why? What is wrong with people?
Running the diesel engine extra rich so it vomits extra sooty exhaust instead of properly burned, cleaner exhaust, because they feel the need to compensate for their small member by annoying everyone else.
Since getting an electric car they've started cutting me off, brake checking me and then doing the soot farting thing. It's like they need to make up for my car's lack of tailpipe emissions in a way that really lets me know they're doing it.
It’s not LIKE that. It 100% IS that. That is the entire intended point of rolling coal.

It looks tuff, bro!
The worst thing is the people who intentionally spew Priuses (back when they were the only semi-electric cars around) and bicycles with soot, as some sort of "fuck you for trying to not pollute, hur hur" thing.
Because it lets the world know how MAGA you are.

Not sure it's specifically eBay that should get the fine here, it should be the sellers ON eBay.
Agreed. Nobody wants the eBay police, but sellers and buyers should be the ones held accountable.

Please crack down on rolling coal in general. If you were to put it in the context of the shopping cart theory, it would be shoving your cart directly into someone else's car.
It's the sheer waste that gets me - not just the fuck you tiny dick bullshit of spewing your effluence onto people intentionally, no, they need to waste fucking shittons of petrol or diesel to do it MEANWHILE THE WORLD IS FUCKING BURNING. The fucking amazon dried up, what more evidence do they need?
Of course, if evidence swayed them, if they had half a fucking brain they'd never try this shit in the first place. But you know what's worse than the stupids running the planet into meltdown?
The rest of us let them. Even wildly stupid bullshit like this.
This has got to be this most pathetic chapter in the American saga.
Fun fact. My workplace added recycle bins to the breakroom a few years ago. The day after, HR had to call a facility-wide emergency meeting to explain that their use was voluntary only and that no workers would be required to use them.
Grown ass adults lost their shit because they saw a recycle bin.

If they market them as intentionally modified, then probably criminal case can be opened against them.

The practice is sometimes used as a form of anti-environmental protest.
Sometimes? What are the more common reasons?
To look like you're an impressive person with a big, strong truck that is so powerful it can't help but not spew lung-destroying emissions. They're just cosplaying truckers.

I've been coal rolled and driven off the road as a recreational cyclist on rural, lonely roads. The last time I felt safe cycling on the road was 5 years ago?

If you rolled coal expect to be held down and repeatedly kicked in the crotch at the inevitable climate induced apocalypse.

The article had a video and I could only stand watching it for a couple of seconds. It started with a Russian sounding guy saying they were going to show why a Prius is dangerous to the environment. Then, they showed people laughing as they rolled coal at electric car drivers.
Is that their argument? "Electric cars are dangerous to the environment because people driving electric cars make me spew tons of smoke into the atmosphere"?
What's next? "You recycled your can. That's bad for the environment because that forced me to spill this toxic waste into a playground. All those kids got sick and it's all your fault for recycling!!!"
But the LIB's got owned, didn't they.... fucking losers
I didn't even know this was a thing - impressively stupid and dangerous on the open road.
You just described the modern conservative:
Impressively stupid and dangerous.
