Rolling coal is cumulatively destructive to the local environment and to the health of the people in the area in the more general sense, and in cases where truck drivers do it to cyclists and hybrid/EV drivers directly and immediately harmful to their health.
If nothing else, rolling coal with the intent of placing somebody within the plume should be considered assault. Diesel fumes/soot is some nasty stuff.
driving any ICE vehicle is cumulatively destructive. It's not any worse just because you can see carbon particles vs clear exhaust.
Yeah surely rolling coal and SULEV are exactly the same. Never mind the fact that the other one is literally specced to produce less than 10% of the average emissions, surely they are the same.
