I live in a semi rural area, and we have a lot of red neck crackers riding around in these tuned up and tricked out diesel pickup trucks. Recently it seems that a lot of them have affixed some sort of exhaust mechanism that allows the truck to spew thick black smoke out of the tail pipes. Even more troubling is that these degenerates have taken a liking to targeting runners and cyclist with this trick. Ill be riding or running by and one of these assholes will slow down, flip a switch, rev up their V8 turbodiesel 355 hemi magnum and shoot this shit right at me. It is some of the most abhorrent, anti-social, degenerate behavior I have ever encountered. Further research on my part has revealed that this is actually called "rolling coal" and is sort of a thing with these guys. Have any of you experienced any of this while out? Who here has any suggestions for counter measures or action I can take on my part when I encounter this. It makes me so mad that it literally ruins my enjoyment of my ride or run for the rest of the time.

had someone do this to me a month and a half ago, i heard him roll up close beside me on a narrow single lane street and as soon as i saw the side of the truck i knew what was about to happen.

caught up to the prick 2 blocks later while he was stuck at the red light. emptied my water bottle through his open drivers side window before he realized what was happening. casually cut through a park and rode off.

karma can be a b%tch.
