I remember the kids doing this when I was in college. The kid in the below article had a truck that was able to "roll coal" and did it often to pedestrians walking to class.
He was also not paying attention and hit a professor in the cross walk, almost killing him (Prof. Gore is back to teaching these days).
I stereotyped this "rolling coal" driver who doesn't care about others as a terrible driver and he almost killed someone.
