    I can offer you worse. Rolling coal is legal here. It’s considered cool to put out lots of black exhaust.

      I live in the states, it doesn’t seem to be illegal here. Do we suffer from the same assholes?

        To be clear, it’s legal and common especially because we don’t have any emissions standards enforcement. In my state, there is no test whatsoever, and even if you’re blatantly belching clouds of smoke it is 100% tolerated. It’s a bizarre badge of honor among some hyper conservative residents to pollute as much as possible.

        I think operating a motor vehicle should entail a certain degree of responsibility including environmental responsibility.
