I guess calling the tow company is very effective at curbing the second behavior. I suspect peer pressure will reduce how commonplace it is over the coming years - I’m stretching the meaning of peer pressure here, but the risk reward is all out of whack in that your reward is an irritating but minor stunt and your risk is discovering your car is no longer where you left it.

Is "coal running" a non-US term?

Rolling coal is the practice of modifying a diesel engine to emit large amounts of black or grey sooty exhaust fumes—diesel fuel that has not undergone complete combustion. It is a predominantly North American phenomenon (more specifically in the United States and Canada), despite being illegal.
