Being found guilty of knowingly modifying a vehicle, or knowingly operating a modified vehicle, and performing the act of "rolling coal" should result in loss of driving license in all states for no less than 10 years.
Not that my proposed "Rolling Coal Proves You Have a Tiny Innie Penis and By the Way, Your Truck Nuts Means Your Truck is Actually Trans Act" would be passed any time soon. Or ever, certainly not at the rate the House is fucking up.
But DOJ going after the supply of parts for modifying diesel engines is something, at least!
Mostly agree except for the small penis bashing. We need to end small-dick hatred.
Fair. While I'd defend the name as being targeted at only the offenders' insecurities, which also includes the truck-nuts-trans quip, I understand how it could cause a larger negative cultural impact to a group or groups that is/are already unduly disparaged.
Additional group studies will be performed and suggestions are welcome.
Perhaps the "Coal Rollers Are Pissants, Fundamentally Undeserving Cars/trucKs Act"
It has a certain je ne sais quois, I think, but needs more work.
