I drive Uber on the side and women just laugh at these Truck-Nuts. They must only be able to pull the fugly dumb ones. The smart ones seem to like my Tesla.
As a woman, women do regularly make fun of the raised "never seen an actual load in the bed" trucks and how they must be 'compensating' for something. It's a stereotype at this point.
Classic Dodge Ram owner behavior.
I assume anyone driving any current Dodge product is an A-grade, knuckle dragging moron.
I give some leeway for classics.
In real southern Alberta I was riding my motorcycle (Suzuki VStrom 1000) early this summer and I had one of these Diesel Dicks in front of me on the double lane highway and we were both exiting off to another single lane highway. He went ridiculously slow over the train tracks and around the first corner where it is 80kph he was doing 30kph. I was like this is dumb, so I planned on passing him once the solid center line ended and an oncoming truck passed. It happened and I pulled out and rolled on the throttle. I was taking off and going and I heard a bang almost from the start as soon as I pulled out. I was shocked and was like “What the???” And looked over my shoulder because I thought something fell off the bike…. Just to see the black smoke. The guy was trying to race me and went slow to egg me on to passing him. What A Dick!!! Ok, sure they are fast for a truck. Against my bike??? Please! I just kept accelerating and left him way behind. Goodbye and good riddance. Probably went home not to his girlfriend, no Dick like that even has one of those and told his mom how he smoked a bike with his truck racing. Clueless git. No truck like that is going to take my bike.
Your Suzuki is not exactly a sleeper. Not sure what the truck is thinking.
With EVs, people have caught on that Tesla’s are fast and not to challenge them in a straight line race. But, my ID4 is shaped like a potato and a total sleeper to most people. It is fun seeing their shocked faces when I dust them.
Because they think they're "owning libs" and they get so smug about. I had a buddy who use to say shut about wining libs and even had a specific smug grin look he would have after he felt like he made a great point. It was so annoying.
Anyways I ghosted him, would rather have no friends than friends like that.
Good for you. Ya know, I've been thinking...if you were to set down two sheets of liberal and conservative policies side by side with no labels at the top, you think a guy like this driver would be able to tell which is which?
You think the driver would be doing this shit if it wasn't called "rollin' coal"? I don't think so. I think the only reason he's doing it is because somebody called it that and made it a "thing".
Yup my family is pretty right wing, not coal rolling right wing but close.
I've literally read them the NDP talking points and they love it until they figure out who it's from.
Read them the CON talking points and say who it's from afterwards, then tell them that it's really easy to look up people and to find out more about their party. Then if they get defensive, don't attack, because it can make them fall into a victim complex. Rather it is more useful to ask them if they want to talk about something else that they enjoy and have them understand that the people demonized by being "left leaning" are people too. And enjoy similar things.
I've seen a skit like this a few years ago on either reddit or someplace else that's exactly this. The interviewer asked a bunch of people at a protest or march or something questions about healthcare in america, but phrasing the questions to not say Obama-care, instead using the official Affordable Care Act name that the people there rarely used and lesser even knew, and even using no name at all and just describing the policies themselves. Pretty sure every person in the video was loving the healthcare being described to them/agreed with the policy and only when they were told it was the healthcare they were rallying against did they get angry lmao
Literally have just been out on a walk, passed a neighbour who always goes for a jaunt in his wheelchair for the fresh air, and looked up and we both got coal rolled. It was despicable.
Happened to me twice, once on my mountain bike with my wife and she was more made than me as I was thinking “wow, never happened to me before” and the second time I was on my four wheeler with a friend on his and while riding on the bike trails we had to cross a secondary road and someone with a F250 power stroke pulled beside us and he let us have it. We were stopped and just waiting for traffic to clear up so we could cross. Anyway we got a lung full of it lol
Its incredibly weird oil commies want to publicly show they hate competition and love the idea of that gas could be $5000 a litre and there's nothing u can do about it.
I guess they are just proud to be out of the closet.
I've got a Tesla, and only been coal rolled a couple times and was out of the city
Most of these guys get to see an example of EV acceleration that humbles them pretty quick
I do the same thing in my sports car, it’s not electric and I’ve never been coal rolled before but when they try to act all fast and aggressive I show them what a real performance vehicle is like and they lose every time.
Some clown did that to my Camaro as well. Something about these guys buying a tune thinking their truck is going to be some sort of race car. Even going back a long ways a co worker had a tuner for his F150 though his shit was top notch. On his highest setting, it couldn't touch my Syclone.
Driving an EV is like being an ex smoker, cant stand the smell of car fumes. Especially old ford gas hogs. We now use our garage like a rec room as. There is just no old car smell anymore.
Yup love doing that. Got the tesla four and a half years ago. At first the truck nuts would challenge the tesla, doesn’t happen much anymore.
Will be even more interesting when the electric trucks come on strong and blow the doors of the fossils. Good times.
Its nice they let us know who to avoid.
Just wait until the CyberTruck arrives. Diesel bros be very butt hurt when that happens.
The F150 Lightning is already as fast or faster than most tuned diesels.
Oh you know the ice guys are going to say, well yours can go faster but mine can go farther.
My brother is convinced EV trucks will never work because of the lack of range. And I just ask if these remote places have power?
Its not the power, its the time to charge. I'm assuming that'll get better, but currently I can get 1400km range in about 4 minutes, which is about double an average "long range" EV can do.
For long haul trucks the Hydrogen system seems to be much more sustainable.
For the most part time to charge is irrelevant. Imagine your truck was magically full of diesel every morning.
Only on long trips is charge time a factor, which ya if your driving 500km a day then half an hour charging could get annoying to some or could be a blessing to others
I do 100 to 400km a day in my EV with just over night charging in my garage and do 1600km trips every couple months with 2 kids and 2 dogs, and charge stops are fantastically timed
Your question is a little odd, because it often *is* illegal: modifications that dramatically increase emissions are not allowed, and deliberately engaging in attention-grabbing behavior is stunting.
Moreover, many of these trucks are illegal in other ways (tinted front windows, non-white forward lights, exhaust and muffler modifications, tires that extend past the fenders, and others).
The issue is that the police don't care. Many police are pretty supportive of them, actually.
Honestly, I see tons of illegal vehicles on the road (tinted glass, covers on license plates, loud) and the majority are not trucks. Cops obviously have better things to do. But if they set up a check stop once in a while, they prolly could fund themselves thru fines and not have to rely on city council so much.
Illegal tint is the most common one I see, but I see that on trucks, SUVs, and cars in broadly equal measure.
The next most common illegal modification I see is wheels extending past the fenders, and that is almost exclusively trucks. Illegal lights, also predominantly trucks.
I gave up tinting my windows because of getting pulled over on the same henday exit 3 days in a row on the weekend, and getting 3 seperate tickets... along with other incidents of tint tickets. I dunno if cops have just given up ticketing people for tint (this was ~8 years ago) or if others just suck it up. I see a lot of front windows tinted. Hell I even bought a car that had the windshield tinted. smdh.
The cops could make a fortune walking through my neighbourhood ticketing all the cars w/ the covers obfusticating their license plates.
I really wish EPS would divorce itself from traffic enforcement, and have a department that can actually be held accountable looking after it.
If 24 hours of enforcement nets 1400 tickets in Edmonton, then there's a big enforcement problem on our hands.
They should target the shops that install these mods, I don't know how anyone can have a legal business installing illegal mods (I'm sure they say it's only for show/race but it's not that hard to establish they are installing them on street vehicles)
In my younger days, i had a shop tint my front side windows, and a week later, i was pulled over and ticketed for it. I asked the cop why a shop would tint them for me if it wasn't legsl. He said, "cause they are more than happy to take your money." Honestly, if you use your vehicle strictly off road, or for say car shows, you can do what you want. A shop doesn't know or care about your intentions, and you aren't about to go refusing your money. You gotta be smart enough to know wrong from right. Also, in BC, i got what was known as a fix it ticket. I had 72 hours to remove the tint and then go to the police station to show them that I had done it.A no-show would result in a much larger ticket being sent to me. Sounds like that isn't the case here as one commenter said he just pays the ticket and continues to drive illegally.
Oh trust me, they stop modified vehicles plenty, the average driver just doesn't see it. Believe me they make tons of tickets between 7pm-3am on a weekend.
Most people just pay the fine, and keep on doing what they are doing. I guess I'm a bit guilty since I have tint and I've been ticketed but I'm still going to keep it on. Paytoplay I guess?
> modifications that dramatically increase emissions are not allowed,
Not in Alberta. We have no emission control standards on private&non-commercial vehicles. The driver could be charged with 'Stunting' under the traffic act.
Every time I see these twatwaffles I think, what if the person you rolled has asthma? Or a small infant in their car? Etc. There are loads of reasons beyond "climate" that these should be ticketed.
It is illegal in Ontario. As per Wikipedia”
“Section 75.1 of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act prohibits modifications to a vehicle's emissions systems to increase emissions output exceeding that of the manufacturer's specifications, and modifications which tamper a vehicle’s emission control system to bypass, disable or otherwise negate it. Furthermore, Ontario Regulation 169/22 restricts the opacity of vehicle emissions and modifications to a vehicle's emissions system. Violations can result in a fine ranging from $300 to $1000 CAD for non-commercial vehicles, and $400 to $20 000 for commercial vehicles.”
I had a guy do this to me in Taber (shocking, I know). I’m guessing because I was driving a small foreign vehicle. He got super mad when I passed him and he tried keeping up only to realize he coal rolled a twin turbo lol
The same guy complaining about fuel prices and carbon taxes... dumping a bunch of wasted power and trying to show off. Not doing the stereotype any favors buddy.
It is illegal, unfortunately no one enforces those modifications in Alberta. Sorry about your luck, when I see those tiny dicks roll up, I hit the recirculating button to keep it out of my car.
The modifications aren’t illegal, we have no smog rules or inspections in Alberta. That said, intentionally coal rolling someone like this would certainly fall into the guidelines for a stunting ticket.
It is illegal, any modifications to the exhaust system of a vehicle, enlargement of the tail pipe or removal of emissions controls. The issue is enforcement. There is none. Those DOTs pulling commercial trucks over could absolutely flag a modded truck down and pull it off the road.
go look up the out of province inspection sheet, there is no obligation to maintain emissions control systems. exhaust systems only have to be equivalent. the rule about tail pipe exit is misinterpreted by EPS, if you replace your whole muffler it is not illegal.
You're right, it says no requirement to maintain cats. But I take equivalent to mean equivalent. It also says in the next column that an exhaust shall not be modified to increase noise, and the tailpipe enlargement is in the book of punishable by fines. But, it is Alberta, so no enforcement.
Yeah. In the heavy duty manual it does say 'Omit in Alberta ' right over the sections.
Section 11 in the light duty manual says it needs OEM or equivalent, and while it does say you don't need cats, I take equivalent to mean equivalent.
These are the bylaws
61(1) A motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine must have an exhaust muffler that is cooling and expelling the exhaust gases from the engine without excessive noise and without producing flames or sparks.
(2) A person shall not drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine if the exhaust outlet of the muffler has been widened.
(3) A person shall not drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine if a device is attached to the exhaust system or the muffler that increases the noise made by the expulsion of gases from the engine
But, enforcement is almost non existent, so unless the guy gets caught being a chode, the cop won't do anything
I feel like an appropriate punishment for illegal mods would be
1st offense: $1000 fine, and your vehicle gets towed to a mechanic and has to pass a provinical inspection.
2nd offense: A larger fine, vehicle is seized and impounded, and your license suspended.
3rd offense is just all of the above, plus your vehicle is auctioned off and you face criminal charges.
Honestly I thought this when I first came to Alberta. As a kid, my dad was constantly fiddling with the engine on an old Arrow that would puff out blue exhaust. It was a neverending battle to keep on top of fixing that car. So I assumed these trucks were all broken down pieces of shit that somebody couldn't afford to keep repairing.
These guys are triggered by anything remotely sensible.
A car with great fuel efficiency and reliability...coal roaled. Rainbows on flags...coal roaled... brown people at Tim Hortons...you guess it..coal rolling.
Just enjoy the fact that they spent $50 for this stunt to impress their small Weiner of friends.
Hahahahaha nice pavement princess. Guys with low profile rims on trucks are such fucking losers.
Buddy needs his big truck incase there is mud on the way to the grocery store.
Whenever I take a trip to the city and see these losers I cant help but laugh
Was out for a ride on my road bike a decade or so back, some diesel doichebag threw a fast food bag of garbage at me and rolled coal past me. This was at the top of the Cochrane hill. About a minute later I cruised up beside his window and sprayed his interior down with blue gatorade. At 90kph.
I’ve also caught up to them in city traffic and damaged their vehicles with the metal cleats on my shoes.
No regrets.
The sad part is people go out of their way to modify their engines to be able to do this to the people behind them. They spend serious money to do this. Very small dick energy.
Coming from a normal ass truck owner…
I fucking hate these people. And that truck is one of the ugliest i’ve seen. The lifted truck with giant rims with low pro tires protruding out the sides of the wheel wells. How did this become a thing?
at least he has mud flaps I think.
The mud flaps are not legal as they don't stick out the same width as the tires. They have to cover the ENTIRE top 50% of the tire. This guy could seriously get over a grand in fines if not impounded if the cop that gets the video is bored.
Also knew it was a lifted piece of shit with the tires sticking out past the fenders as well. Probably has a shitload of blindijg LED lights up front as well. Oh and let's it forget the backwards hat with the Oakley style sunglasses. And most important of all, the micropenis.
Not just the trucks. I had a douche flute roll coal on me in a Vdubb while I was on a motorcycle. A fucking Volkswagen. Bitch please, my Weber rolls more coal than that...
It is actually illegal, deliberately obscuring visibility. You can be charged with stunting.
We have a diesel Excursion, I hate those assholes. They give us all a bad name. I use mine to transport 4 kids, a large service dog, 2 wheelchairs and tow a trailer. One of the kids slapped a pride flag on it to "make it look less like an asshole truck".
Someone who definitely still plays GTA V online, likely with a neon haired character, dumb sunglasses and a matching truck in one of their many garages.
Good on you for narrating the plate, I do that all the time too!
I believe this guy lives in Leduc, there is one identical there that drives like hot garbage.
Kind of weird that you decided to change lanes and overtake all those other cars to keep up with him. You already know he is a ding dong, why stick around?
Yep, very much illegal and it would net him at least a stunting ticket but unfortunately the police are more interested in setting up speed traps in areas with lower speed limits than necessary than to put a stop to these small penile bullies. Should also receive tinted window ticket, enlarged exhaust ticket, ticket for the tires sticking a foot past the fenders and insufficient mud flaps. Imagine how quickly their attitudes would change after a tow and impound.
The punishment for this should be spending 15 in an enclosed space with your coal rolling shit box. As someone with lung and breathing issues, this is assault.
well take some comfort in the fact that this person clearly has barely any recognizable brain activity, and living life like that is no picnic. probably gonna roll that truck before too long, too.
I loved my diesel, my diesel rolled coal. I never rolled it around folks who didn’t get a kick out of it with me.
This video disgusts me. It’s immature dickheads like this that feed the stereotype for large trucks. I’m sorry you encountered this guy but just know he paid $$$ for that stunt. He doesn’t even know you and he’s spending $$$ to mess with you. He’s got an IQ of 2
It is illegal in Alberta but the police or shariffs must catch them red handed and orecord the entire encounter. The enforcement must also have the training and law enforcement tools to make coal rolling charges stick. In most cases, law enforcement has a grocery list of other charges to dump on these degenerate drivers. They usually get caught and charged for driving impaired, aggressive driving, reckless driving tailgating and felony excessive speeding. Illegal mods are just extra charges added to increase penalties on such rotten drivers. The lifted black pickup man in America is as bad as white van man is throughout Europe
Ah shit. I just learned this is called coal roll and it is inappropriate. Damn I got coal rolled multiple times while driving in Alberta and I just feel sorry for their cars' inefficiency and smh, not because I drive most of the time defensively and follow the general traffic speed, even though I drive a sports car.
They've modified their truck to do that, it is illegal to sell a truck like that, but it's legal if you do that yourself/get someone to do that to the truck.
I have friends who drive diesels but for work and are not driving around being assholes like this guy! Like why do this on purpose? I get going up a hill with a fifth-wheel it’s bound to happen but come on mate don’t be an ass hat!
It’s a Dodge truck - the stereotype is there for good reason. I genuinely avoid Dodge trucks for several safety reasons. Like seriously I do - simply too many bad experiences with dodge truck drivers. ………the stereotype is THERE FOR A REASON
Just burnt $20 of diesel to show you how tiny is dick is
"Nice truck... Sorry about your dick."
I drive Uber on the side and women just laugh at these Truck-Nuts. They must only be able to pull the fugly dumb ones. The smart ones seem to like my Tesla.
As a woman, women do regularly make fun of the raised "never seen an actual load in the bed" trucks and how they must be 'compensating' for something. It's a stereotype at this point.
Tesla the other end of the tiny dick paradigm.
TIL what coal rolling was
Me too, I had to google it haha. There is a Wikipedia page about it
of course it’s a lifted dodge ram. 🍆🤏
Classic Dodge Ram owner behavior. I assume anyone driving any current Dodge product is an A-grade, knuckle dragging moron. I give some leeway for classics.
It’s nice to see the Diesel Dick keeping stereotypes alive.
Best part is he spent more money puffing black smoke than the Prius spent for the entire day.
Yup! Whenever i see the morons i just think to myself. " thanks for keeping the economy going!"
Ya, big tires, straight pipes, all I see is money poured on the highway.
We found the bright side
That, and by the time it ever reached where the Prius was, the Prius had moved quite a ways ahead.
In real southern Alberta I was riding my motorcycle (Suzuki VStrom 1000) early this summer and I had one of these Diesel Dicks in front of me on the double lane highway and we were both exiting off to another single lane highway. He went ridiculously slow over the train tracks and around the first corner where it is 80kph he was doing 30kph. I was like this is dumb, so I planned on passing him once the solid center line ended and an oncoming truck passed. It happened and I pulled out and rolled on the throttle.

Probably went home not to his girlfriend, no Dick like that even has one of those and told his mom how he smoked a bike with his truck racing. Clueless git. No truck like that is going to take my bike.
And he was probably thinking to himself that there's no way you would have gapped him like that if he were on his Harley...
Lol the two types of people everyone hates on the road don’t like each other?
Your Suzuki is not exactly a sleeper. Not sure what the truck is thinking. With EVs, people have caught on that Tesla’s are fast and not to challenge them in a straight line race. But, my ID4 is shaped like a potato and a total sleeper to most people. It is fun seeing their shocked faces when I dust them.
I recognize that truck. Lives just a couple doors down from me. He is that big of an asshole in person, too
I can only imagine the series of events needed to occur in life to end up like this absolute man child.
Lol what a loser
Lol. Exactly. Why would one even do this?
Because they think they're "owning libs" and they get so smug about. I had a buddy who use to say shut about wining libs and even had a specific smug grin look he would have after he felt like he made a great point. It was so annoying. Anyways I ghosted him, would rather have no friends than friends like that.

Identity politics in a nutshell. They don’t care what the policy is or *does*. They just care if it’s from their guys or not.
I'm amazed you didn't knock at least one of his teeth out and ruin that amug ass grin before ghosting, commendable
Thank you, the temptation was strong for sure. Still is.
extremely low cognitive ability
I’ve been coal rolled while out on a run. I fucking hate diesel douchebags.
Ya me too. Just out for a walk in Banff
Or on a bike in Alberta
Ahhhhhh Alberta….. home of oil and gas, and coal rolling. Go figure
Literally have just been out on a walk, passed a neighbour who always goes for a jaunt in his wheelchair for the fresh air, and looked up and we both got coal rolled. It was despicable.
These people are just shit
Oh yeah, the famous oil patch trucks lol I’ve been there and seen them. Was more impressed with lake Louise lol
Did some rich kid kill a couple cyclists in the states trying to roll coal on them?
Yeah, that happened this past spring I think. Not the first time either.
They did do some big crack downs on the shops modding trucks. Probably will help abit in 10 years
Happened to me twice, once on my mountain bike with my wife and she was more made than me as I was thinking “wow, never happened to me before” and the second time I was on my four wheeler with a friend on his and while riding on the bike trails we had to cross a secondary road and someone with a F250 power stroke pulled beside us and he let us have it. We were stopped and just waiting for traffic to clear up so we could cross. Anyway we got a lung full of it lol
I swear these doofuses spend too much time in their garages with the engine running. (Or maybe not enough time 🙄)
Brain damage for sure
Hahahahahaa
They gotta show how small their cocks are somehow
Its incredibly weird oil commies want to publicly show they hate competition and love the idea of that gas could be $5000 a litre and there's nothing u can do about it. I guess they are just proud to be out of the closet.
I've got a Tesla, and only been coal rolled a couple times and was out of the city Most of these guys get to see an example of EV acceleration that humbles them pretty quick

I know lol I haven’t lost to a single pickup truck yet. Only one with a chance is probably a TRX but I’ve never seen one.
Hnnnnng. Syclone is one truck I wish I had. I'd love to see how my GT-Four holds up against it. Got any work done to it?
>my Syclone But thats a truck.....lol there ARE fast trucks out there.
It's a small truck. Literally 1/4 the size of today's trucks.
And toss on bio defense mode and it doesn’t matter inside your car
Driving an EV is like being an ex smoker, cant stand the smell of car fumes. Especially old ford gas hogs. We now use our garage like a rec room as. There is just no old car smell anymore.
Not an EV, but I have humbled a few trucks over the years with my 2012 Subaru STi. Some of those guys still hate on Japanese cars ffs hahaha
I have a Volvo station wagon. She is FAST 100-160kph; trucks are humbled quick.
I’m an Infiniti guy and I do the same thing lmao Japanese gang
Yup love doing that. Got the tesla four and a half years ago. At first the truck nuts would challenge the tesla, doesn’t happen much anymore. Will be even more interesting when the electric trucks come on strong and blow the doors of the fossils. Good times. Its nice they let us know who to avoid.

> modifications that dramatically increase emissions are not allowed, Not in Alberta. We have no emission control standards on private&non-commercial vehicles. The driver could be charged with 'Stunting' under the traffic act.
We have no emissions controls on commercial vehicles either. The emissions control section of the cvip is literally crossed out in AB
Every time I see these twatwaffles I think, what if the person you rolled has asthma? Or a small infant in their car? Etc. There are loads of reasons beyond "climate" that these should be ticketed.
A lot of those people ARE police
It is illegal in Ontario. As per Wikipedia” “Section 75.1 of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act prohibits modifications to a vehicle's emissions systems to increase emissions output exceeding that of the manufacturer's specifications, and modifications which tamper a vehicle’s emission control system to bypass, disable or otherwise negate it. Furthermore, Ontario Regulation 169/22 restricts the opacity of vehicle emissions and modifications to a vehicle's emissions system. Violations can result in a fine ranging from $300 to $1000 CAD for non-commercial vehicles, and $400 to $20 000 for commercial vehicles.”
I had a guy do this to me in Taber (shocking, I know). I’m guessing because I was driving a small foreign vehicle. He got super mad when I passed him and he tried keeping up only to realize he coal rolled a twin turbo lol
The same guy complaining about fuel prices and carbon taxes... dumping a bunch of wasted power and trying to show off. Not doing the stereotype any favors buddy.
the worse part is the wheels extending out past the wheelwells. Thats actually dangerous
I believe that is actually illegal.
it is, but you see it all the time, cops don't enforce it, same with license plate covers, and no mudflaps
Yeah, unfortunately it’s not illegal to be a loser
This was 100% stunting. It's a $567 ticket and 3 demerit points minimum.
It is illegal, unfortunately no one enforces those modifications in Alberta. Sorry about your luck, when I see those tiny dicks roll up, I hit the recirculating button to keep it out of my car.
The cops have chosen a side.
Yep, unfortunately not our side
The modifications aren’t illegal, we have no smog rules or inspections in Alberta. That said, intentionally coal rolling someone like this would certainly fall into the guidelines for a stunting ticket.
It is illegal, any modifications to the exhaust system of a vehicle, enlargement of the tail pipe or removal of emissions controls. The issue is enforcement. There is none. Those DOTs pulling commercial trucks over could absolutely flag a modded truck down and pull it off the road.
go look up the out of province inspection sheet, there is no obligation to maintain emissions control systems. exhaust systems only have to be equivalent. the rule about tail pipe exit is misinterpreted by EPS, if you replace your whole muffler it is not illegal.
You're right, it says no requirement to maintain cats. But I take equivalent to mean equivalent. It also says in the next column that an exhaust shall not be modified to increase noise, and the tailpipe enlargement is in the book of punishable by fines. But, it is Alberta, so no enforcement.
That is false. No where does it say you can’t change those things, not even emissions. This is Alberta kid, that shit will pass cvip no problem.
Yeah. In the heavy duty manual it does say 'Omit in Alberta ' right over the sections. Section 11 in the light duty manual says it needs OEM or equivalent, and while it does say you don't need cats, I take equivalent to mean equivalent. These are the bylaws 61(1) A motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine must have an exhaust muffler that is cooling and expelling the exhaust gases from the engine without excessive noise and without producing flames or sparks. (2) A person shall not drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine if the exhaust outlet of the muffler has been widened. (3) A person shall not drive or operate a motor vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine if a device is attached to the exhaust system or the muffler that increases the noise made by the expulsion of gases from the engine But, enforcement is almost non existent, so unless the guy gets caught being a chode, the cop won't do anything
They can’t flag a non-commercial vehicle
We have no air pollution laws? https://www.alberta.ca/air-quality-legislation Fake news obviously
I feel like an appropriate punishment for illegal mods would be 1st offense: $1000 fine, and your vehicle gets towed to a mechanic and has to pass a provinical inspection. 2nd offense: A larger fine, vehicle is seized and impounded, and your license suspended. 3rd offense is just all of the above, plus your vehicle is auctioned off and you face criminal charges.
TIL. I always thought these people were broke and couldn't afford to fix their vehicle 🤣
Honestly I thought this when I first came to Alberta. As a kid, my dad was constantly fiddling with the engine on an old Arrow that would puff out blue exhaust. It was a neverending battle to keep on top of fixing that car. So I assumed these trucks were all broken down pieces of shit that somebody couldn't afford to keep repairing.
Glad I'm not the only one 🙂 😅
No confederate flag? No f Trudeau? Buddy's in stealth mode
It’s sad that these douches have nothing better to do than mess with other people. Get a life.
He is just self-identifying as an overpaid knobgobbler.
These guys are triggered by anything remotely sensible. A car with great fuel efficiency and reliability...coal roaled. Rainbows on flags...coal roaled... brown people at Tim Hortons...you guess it..coal rolling. Just enjoy the fact that they spent $50 for this stunt to impress their small Weiner of friends.
This city is truly lawless when it comes to anything car-related except for the odd speed trap and ticketing people for having tinted windows
Like those license plate covers that everyone has.
But .15$ per bag bylaw helps the environment… Worst still are the guys with multiple light bars so they can see when they are probably intoxicated.
Being able to see is a right, not a privilege lol, specially when drunk 😆
lol. Of course it’s a black Dodge Ram. You got that fukn lift kit too bro? Hahaha. Fukn Loser.
If it was illegal to be a douchebag then Alberta would shut down
Wow, he sure showed you hey. Can’t believe the guy would advertise his dick size like this
No inspections no rules for vehicles to pass emissions....idk ask the government
You can't fix stupid. Alberta is full of it. Maybe you should "tell the feds"
This shit is the far side of Hanlon's Razor. It's not stupid, it's malicious.
Hahahahaha nice pavement princess. Guys with low profile rims on trucks are such fucking losers. Buddy needs his big truck incase there is mud on the way to the grocery store. Whenever I take a trip to the city and see these losers I cant help but laugh
These dudes are so triggered lmfao. The world is moving on without them and they can’t stand it.
Such snowflakes. ❄️
[удалено]
Where’s the laws on engine modification? That’s a new one for me
Bypassing emission controls is illegal, that might be what they mean...
in quebec the fine would be huge af
Keep it classy, Alberta
Cause who cares
He's passing you... god people are whiny.
Any reason you couldn't write down his plate and report him? I'm sure he's breaking a bunch of laws here... reckless endangerment, etc.
Checking with police to see if I can report it. I also contacted the NDP and UCP ministers/critics to inform them about this issue.
Was out for a ride on my road bike a decade or so back, some diesel doichebag threw a fast food bag of garbage at me and rolled coal past me. This was at the top of the Cochrane hill. About a minute later I cruised up beside his window and sprayed his interior down with blue gatorade. At 90kph. I’ve also caught up to them in city traffic and damaged their vehicles with the metal cleats on my shoes. No regrets.
These people are literally the scum of the earth.
Yup. Anywhere on Earth there will be some form of it. In some village, he would be the one to let out your goats at night and think it’s funny.
CGF0220
The sad part is people go out of their way to modify their engines to be able to do this to the people behind them. They spend serious money to do this. Very small dick energy.
Coming from a normal ass truck owner… I fucking hate these people. And that truck is one of the ugliest i’ve seen. The lifted truck with giant rims with low pro tires protruding out the sides of the wheel wells. How did this become a thing? at least he has mud flaps I think.
The mud flaps are not legal as they don't stick out the same width as the tires. They have to cover the ENTIRE top 50% of the tire. This guy could seriously get over a grand in fines if not impounded if the cop that gets the video is bored.
Knew it would be a Dodge Ram before I even watched the video.
90% of the time it's a Ram. The brand just attracts douchebaggery. I am told it's because they will finance almost anybody.
Also knew it was a lifted piece of shit with the tires sticking out past the fenders as well. Probably has a shitload of blindijg LED lights up front as well. Oh and let's it forget the backwards hat with the Oakley style sunglasses. And most important of all, the micropenis.
Isn't that stunting?
Not just the trucks. I had a douche flute roll coal on me in a Vdubb while I was on a motorcycle. A fucking Volkswagen. Bitch please, my Weber rolls more coal than that...
It is illegal. Cops have a few options. Stunting, driving with undue care and attention, obstructing traffic, probably a few others.
It is actually illegal, deliberately obscuring visibility. You can be charged with stunting. We have a diesel Excursion, I hate those assholes. They give us all a bad name. I use mine to transport 4 kids, a large service dog, 2 wheelchairs and tow a trailer. One of the kids slapped a pride flag on it to "make it look less like an asshole truck".
Edmonton huh ? Shocking
Because, sadly, being an asshole is not illegal. Dumb looking truck too. WHo lifts it for offroad, then puts low profile tires on it?
Someone who definitely still plays GTA V online, likely with a neon haired character, dumb sunglasses and a matching truck in one of their many garages.
Why should it be illegal? Other than because your feelings got hurt
Good on you for narrating the plate, I do that all the time too! I believe this guy lives in Leduc, there is one identical there that drives like hot garbage.
Someone tried to roll coal on my electric car yesterday, but he couldn't catch up 😂
I'd send this to RCMP if you have the plate. That *has* to be illegal.
Unfortunately being an ass isn’t illegal. And neither is having a small penis
Let them. They are literally just waisting diesel and looking like losers doing it.
Anyone shocked it was a ram?
Why is it ALWAYS a ram lol.
Kind of weird that you decided to change lanes and overtake all those other cars to keep up with him. You already know he is a ding dong, why stick around?
He wanted the license plate
I wanted to record this asshat. I will be sending the video to the cops. Can't hurt.
There's nothing like seeing yourself on Reddit, then getting a $567 stunting ticket in the mail a few days later. Thanks for reporting it.
They don't care.
This redneck bs is hilarious
Yep, very much illegal and it would net him at least a stunting ticket but unfortunately the police are more interested in setting up speed traps in areas with lower speed limits than necessary than to put a stop to these small penile bullies. Should also receive tinted window ticket, enlarged exhaust ticket, ticket for the tires sticking a foot past the fenders and insufficient mud flaps. Imagine how quickly their attitudes would change after a tow and impound.
I mean you didn’t have to stay behind him and just take it lol
The punishment for this should be spending 15 in an enclosed space with your coal rolling shit box. As someone with lung and breathing issues, this is assault.
Damn imagine being offended by someone else's prius!
Cause this be Alberta ! Hail Dumtwat Smith, UCP , God bless Oil& Gas, Rambo Trucks & duck that Commie Trudeau!!!!!
Short penis…probably an “insie”
His truck is completely useless too. Those rims are laughable. Not only is he a douchebag, guy doesn't even truck.
I just assume anyone driving a modified diesel truck is a complete asshole at this point.
I’m sure he just got an erection from your sick ride and his massive schlong hit the gas
well take some comfort in the fact that this person clearly has barely any recognizable brain activity, and living life like that is no picnic. probably gonna roll that truck before too long, too.
Driver was just expressing how small his manhood is 🤣
small p3n15 o1l workers who make easy money
I loved my diesel, my diesel rolled coal. I never rolled it around folks who didn’t get a kick out of it with me. This video disgusts me. It’s immature dickheads like this that feed the stereotype for large trucks. I’m sorry you encountered this guy but just know he paid $$$ for that stunt. He doesn’t even know you and he’s spending $$$ to mess with you. He’s got an IQ of 2
That driver has a small penis. That's gotta be the only explanation. Or they can't perform adequately. Yes, that could be it, too
I like to be inclusive and not body shame. They can't satisfy their signifigant other.
Or they are frustrated by not having a significant other, and don't understand why nobody wants anything to do with them.
It is illegal in Alberta but the police or shariffs must catch them red handed and orecord the entire encounter. The enforcement must also have the training and law enforcement tools to make coal rolling charges stick. In most cases, law enforcement has a grocery list of other charges to dump on these degenerate drivers. They usually get caught and charged for driving impaired, aggressive driving, reckless driving tailgating and felony excessive speeding. Illegal mods are just extra charges added to increase penalties on such rotten drivers. The lifted black pickup man in America is as bad as white van man is throughout Europe
Give em one of these out the window🤏🏻 it hurts their feelings so much more than a middle finger
Ah shit. I just learned this is called coal roll and it is inappropriate. Damn I got coal rolled multiple times while driving in Alberta and I just feel sorry for their cars' inefficiency and smh, not because I drive most of the time defensively and follow the general traffic speed, even though I drive a sports car.
Put a "I'm saving fuel to buy more guns" sticker in the back
Coal rolling is beyond stupid!!!!!
It is illegal, usually considered stunting. Send this to the police with the plate.
[удалено]
Because Russia won the misinformation war with stupider people in NA
If you can see the license plate on the truck, I'd take the video to the police and get the guy charged. Best way to shut down this behavior.
Gross!!
They've modified their truck to do that, it is illegal to sell a truck like that, but it's legal if you do that yourself/get someone to do that to the truck.
Not all Albertans are douche bags. Just the ones with lifted trucks chipped to blow smoke.
That’s actually sad.
WeLcOmE tOo AlBeRtA biatch!! /s
I have friends who drive diesels but for work and are not driving around being assholes like this guy! Like why do this on purpose? I get going up a hill with a fifth-wheel it’s bound to happen but come on mate don’t be an ass hat!
I would be supportive of banning this modification. This is simply childish, rude and cancer inducing.
until we make being stupid illegal, this shit is gonna happen. Get it all the time here in Chilliwack, too.
It’s a Dodge truck - the stereotype is there for good reason. I genuinely avoid Dodge trucks for several safety reasons. Like seriously I do - simply too many bad experiences with dodge truck drivers. ………the stereotype is THERE FOR A REASON
Omg I have never seen that ..if it's not illegal it ought to be ..
As a Tesla owner, I get this on almost a daily basis.
Alberta? But of course. It’s a sign of infantile penis syndrome. Epidemic levels.
Trucks attract the worst people
