I agree 100 percent. A properly running diesel doesn’t blow much smoke even without all the emissions garbage. Anyone driving a truck that’s purposely tuned to blow huge clouds of smoke should be pulled over and have it impounded until it’s fixed.

Blowing coal by yourself is bad enough. But to purposely try to poison a crew of health minded bicyclists who are harming no one is just evil. Top it off with teenager inexperience and you get attempted manslaughter. Very sad that the cops let him go, minor or not. Mommy and daddy are about to be sued into oblivion.

Put the kid in prison for 60 years. Maybe he will come out with some level of maturity. If not at least he wont get social security.

Pickup truck runs over 6 cyclists in Waller County, 4 people hospitalized

Six cyclists were run over by a pickup truck along old 290, roughly 2 miles west of Waller. In total, four of the cyclists had to be taken to area hospitals, including 2 by helicopter.

I am in no way condoning what this kid did, but 'cyclists' around here confuse themselves with the Tour. They ride in packs on busy roads at busy times of day. They put themselves at considerable risk due to bad choices. (I started biking seriously in 1985 before most of these wannabe athletes were on bikes). I am surprised more are not killed. The car driver is always viewed as the bad guy, but at least around DFW, the bicyclists are their own worst enemy. Again, this kid was not just driving, he was being reckless.

Looking to roll coal on the guys while looking in the mirrors to admire his work, neglecting the fact that there where others in front or how quickly he would reach them. Pretty sure hitting them wasn't intentional, just a bad consequence of a stupid decision.

I also agree with this. There’s plenty of cyclists practically begging to get hit.

I belong to a Dodge diesel forum and frequently see someone asking "how do I make my truck blow black smoke?" This incredible level of immaturity of some people just drives me crazy. Why on earth do they consider this "cool"?
