Rolling Coal is illegal in the Garden State!

I don't mean to stir the pot, and I know it's your job to know - but this seems like a real stretch to apply to this situation.
This statute is about devices made to be smoke screens, and explicitly states "... any unusual amount of smoke, gas or other substance not necessary to the actual propulsion, care and keep of said vehicle,..."
Since an auto engine is not designed to emit smoke, and in this case it results only from the fuel which is intended for propulsion (one could just argue that it's a really inefficient engine), I don't see how the charge would stick.
I'd be curious if there ware any cases where it worked.

Of course there is the approach of just using it as leverage for a plea to a lesser crime... the "keep the douchebags off the road" theme...

I'm all for throwing the book at these douches - lets just do it right.

Did you watch the video in the original post? The vehicle will NOT do that stock. Period. They have to be modified in order to produce that much smoke. In order to modify it to do that, it takes specific parts (ie. devices made to be smoke screens). There is NO other purpose in "rolling coal" than to produce smoke. The vehicle does not produce more power as a result of the smoke, so you can't say that it's a performance modification, etc.

What it will probably amount to, however, is something similar to a "defective equipment" ticket, where if the modifications are removed (and can be proven with a receipt, etc), then the ticket may go away.
 
Yeah, I saw some fucking douchebag in a Ford pulling out from a light one time. Had a couple of "stacks" that looked like they were made from aluminum trash cans. It didn't sound like he got on it very hard, but damn if he didn't black out the intersection. I don't see where the smoke screen ticket would be much of a stretch.
 
Hehehe, ok, somewhat the devils advocate, here we go. So say I have bigger injectors for power, a programmer for power and I need to get to the next red light before you so I can get on the on ramp to the interstate to the right of you. I floor it as the light turns green and get to my lane as planned within the speed limit but wait, it took my turbo a few seconds to light as it was getting over fueled and the truck farted a black fog before it really took off. Illegal???

Someone had to bring this up for debate....not that this has ever happened to me.....:D
 
I remember in 2004 while living in Nashville my roommate got an excessive smoke/defective equipment ticket or smoking out Broadway. They dropped it in court when he showed a receipt for a hx-40 he explained would provide the proper air/fuel ratio.
 
Love this description of the driver from the urban dictionary:

This particular stereotype is the progression of the IROC Camaro owner in the 1990s and the lowered Civic Hatchback owner in the early 2000s. They can be identified by their love of Nickelback, lack of personal hygiene, closeted homosexuality and morbid obesity.

I'm surprised your motor has lasted beyond 20k miles.....
 
Why is everyone getting there pantys in a wad over a lil smoke? I know some ppl are excessive with the smoke. but the epa and the tree hugging anti smoke asshats are killing trucks, you take a new diesel don't matter what it is has dpf egr all that junk on it and it's getting 11 mpg but don't blow black smoke. Delete all that junk truck runs better, smoother better fuel mileage and has more power but blows a lil black smoke.

211k now and it's getting another 5k+ within the next wk and a half. Part of me wants a new truck and the other part wants to run this one over the half a million mark so I can hear what Danny has to say about modified diesels then:flipoff2: I want to see his face with 900ft lbs of torque under his foot:lol:

Buddy of ours commutes to work in his 2015 Dodge and uses it to tow his enclosed race trailer (9mpg). Lifetime average fuel consumption over the first 10k miles has been 19mpg.

Eat better and listen to better music. Nickleback is turrible.

And these mouth breathing mongoloids that are rolling coal need to have their balls clipped, if they even have any.

I agree with all of your statement except Nickleback being turrible, lol.
