A $100 fine isn't nearly enough – there should be mandatory jail time and a hefty driver's license suspension, in addition to a substantially larger fine – but this is a step in the right direction.
Mandatory jail time? I think that's a little overboard for this. I agree a bigger fine would be better, but I'm at least glad rolling coal will be illegal.
I would classify it as careless driving, threepoints off the license. Then, heh, heh, the insurance companies would up their rates.
I like it, V. A lot of these assholes are underwater on their truck loans as it is. It wouldn't take much of a fine and a higher insurance rate to really hurt.
I love my f-250 Diesel, gertie, and responsibly driven they are good for the environment because of less CO2. But mine is a 1987 I brought in from our farm when my dad died. Today, you can spend $$50,000 or more on them.
I'm not railing at diesels per se. It's the assholes who modify them to spew far more than a normal diesel would. They often have a higher truck payment than rent.
Read you loud and clear, lady. These swine are a major pain to responsible owners.
I don't. Rolling coal essentially amounts to battery. A few days in jail is perfectly reasonable sanction.
You're right, though – the fact that this bill passed at all is a big deal!
If I understand correctly these twats (mostly shit head republicans) that roll coal have modified their truck's emission control system which is violation of the clean air act.
I also believe modifying your vehicle emissions systems is a felony punishable by a $10K fine and/or up to 1 year in prison. So, why wouldn't the police/sheriff's deputy's nail Johnny Q. Coalroller on those charges as well? Or at the very least send the report to a federal agent to see if they want to prosecute the idiot republican…. ahem…cough… I mean coal roller.
Good on Ginal and Coram for persistence.
BUT…this already broke a law worth a bigger fine, obviously not a strong deterrent. Anyone wanna bet how many $100 fines will be written year 1? Anyone? Bueller?
The photo shows the guy is actually being considerate, he is belching it straight up. Thanks bud!
Imagine. Once this passes, which effects an insanely small percentage of the population, it will set precedent to then also outlaw the insidiously nasty cigarette and marijuana smoke emitted from those mean spirited individuals trying to kill children, the elderly and those with asthma.
