'Coal rolling' sees diesel trucks release clouds of unhealthy black smoke but drivers often find legal loopholes.

When it comes to how the law covers the practice, it's slightly murky. Rolling coal violates the federal Clean Air Act , which covers all states."It is a violation of the [CAA] to manufacture, sell, or install a part for a motor vehicle that bypasses, defeats, or renders inoperative any emission control device," reads the EPA's website.

Texas also follows its own state transportation code, which although prohibiting excessive smoke from a vehicle, contains some exceptions for diesel engines. According to Texas Public Radio, coal rollers will often manipulate their trucks so that they are able to pass their emission tests. The driver was not charged but Elton Mathis, the District Attorney of Waller County, wrote in a statement that:"Rolling coal when a person is in the vicinity and when the individual rolling coal intentionally or knowingly causes that excess exhaust to contact that bystander is AT A MINIMUM an assault. They are causing their vehicle to 'spit' on a living, breathing, human being that is worthy of dignity and not having his or her person violated.
