I would love to make coal rollers inhale poisonous gasses as punishment.

Seriously. I like diesels, and sometimes they do smoke a but under certain conditions... But to do this aaa joke to bikers and pedestrians is beyond stupid.

Sigh what a waste of good work trucks.
I like Diesel trucks, and I'm a big fan of power.
But the mentality of individuals that are into overfueling a Diesel engine just to "roll coal", I liken to the baby that poops his diaper, and then plays with the poop.
The "rolling coal" kiddies, never grew out of the poopy-diaper-playtime phase.

I never smoke the road intentionally, but if my load and tune cause it to happen, so be it. Florida statutes allow for a diesel vehicle to make as much smoke as it needs under acceleration.
Last time someone tried to roll coal on me in my wagon, I just changed lanes and blasted ahead of them. Unless extremely modified, they'll never crack 90-95. If they have big tires, they're ready to self-destruct at those speeds.

You did nothing more than lower yourself to their standards. They wanted a reaction and you gave them exactly what they wanted. You've proved that you are just as immature as they are.

If driving a VW Beetle and offering up an occasional puff of smoke makes you feel warm and fuzzy, by all means keep doing it. The rest of us real adults will just continue shake their heads at your immature behavior.
And by the way-if your Beetle really is a diesel then it is most certainly not a gas sipper.
Uggggggggg
As much as it pains me here I've gotta agree with pop here.
I've kicked off multiple side view mirrors over the years from drivers cars who have nearly hit me while I'm my bike so I'm no angel not am I innocent and in my youth I was invincible and bulletproof but now I've got kids and I'm knocking on Middle Ages door and I will not set that kind of example for my kids,I will not be a hypocrite.
I'm too old to be giving guys the finger. If I'm angry enough to lower myself to such a gesture I'm angry enough to take it more than a step further.
Pick your battles guys. And win

YMMV

I knew a few people that would drag said driver out by his head and beat the living s..t out of him. Or shoot more than a few tires. It's a sick world and pulling stupid stunts don't always end nicely.
Given that it contains some of the most carcinogenic chemicals that man has created...call it self defence.
10 seconds of smoke, gas or diesel, and you get a defect, and have to prove that remedial action has been taken to stop it.

Clean Air Act trumps FL law. Just sayin'.

Someone asked me to explain my actions. I think this below explains it - stress relief. Was I in the right? Probably not.
However, again, potentially dangerous driving vs a finger? Come on.
This was a very heavily traveled road at the beginning of rush hour, and their actions affected several other cars -- not just me.
Probably best just to delete the thread. Everyone has chimed in -- thanks.

What *exactly* were you planning to achieve by giving 1-finger salute? You must have some rationale for doing that. Why not tell us?
The same amount of stress releif as yelling at the steering wheel or windshield? The communication of "yes I see you, and I think you're a moron too"?
I agree, two wrong's don't make a right: but there is a difference between flippin' the bird and intentionally cutting in front of someone so one can do a brake check. Yes, it can escalate a situation, so it's best avoided. But people are responsible for their own actions. Being flipped off is not an excuse to go 'roid rage.
[I realize they didn't do a brake check in this case. I've had this happen a couple times, and not from when I've flipped people the bird.]

Actually, to piggy-back on this: if flipping someone the bird is completely wrong, is high-beaming someone wrong too? Let's say someone cuts in too close in front of you. Obviously speeding up to tailgate would be wrong, I think we can all agree to that. But is "hey, like, I exist on this road also" an ok gesture?

The Clean Air Act regulates the content of my exhaust, and not its appearance. So I'm never getting pulled over by anybody with the jusrisdiction, equipment, or knowledge to enforce any part of that Act.

Around here its the Amish kids and trailer trash who are doing it.
I cant stand it. I have a diesel truck and while it does have a very mild tune, it does not smoke. It will smoke very little under full throttle but not enough to get anybody upset. The people who feel the need to "roll coal" are ruining the reputation of everyone who has a diesel and uses it for work and towing. It is the same as guys on sportbikes who zig zag thru traffic at twice the speed limit making the others who ride look bad.

Exactly what I said in an earlier thread. Caught a ton of doo for it.
The fact is if everyone does it there will be repercussions that will ruin it for everyone.
Removing emissions equipment, catalytic converters, loud exhausts, etc. are all included...

"Rolling Coal" strikes me as a habit of those with a limited capacity to think before they act.
Smoke tires, roll coal, flash high beams, lay on horn. All are ineffective, impotent ways to express displeasure that no one cares about. Even an immature weiner like me realizes the reasons and lack of effectiveness inherent. You're not going to teach anyone a lesson or turn them into better drivers. At best, they will become aware of an unintentional action. At worst you will be assaulted or shot. Waste of time.

Most troubling is the thought of a mature wiener.

Trying to keep it as family friendly as possible while still expressing a strong opinion.
A vehicle is a proxy for your home when you are in it. It's a private environment in which many end up feeling somewhat anonymous. At least, that's what I read 25 years ago when road rage incidents started making the news. Now, you hear about them almost daily. So, when someone does something you don't like when you are in your car it's like your dominion and space has been invaded and you have been disrespected - in YOUR HOME, no less.
I do buy into this thinking. It explains a lot. You know? "It's my home and I'll do what I want in my home."

..and if you do something stupid your curtains are open and I will laugh at you.

I thought giving finger would have been included in that list!
