Had a Truck roll coal on me and another rider today
 
Today on a ride a large red Ford diesel passed myself and another rider that was infront of me and slowed down to belch a huge black cloud on us.
It made me feel terrible and really makes me sad that someone would do this.
I really can't stand the bully mentality and I sincerely hope there is some sort of cosmic karma.

I drive a Miata, so I feel your pain.

Karma is the guy drives on and continues the crappy life that made him want to do that. Sorry that happened, but try to put it behind you and ride on.

Those vehicles should be ticketed. I hate that.

Karma isn't real so don't worry about that. I've been thinking more and more about getting a camera, so we can prosecute these bungholes. Someone did this to my wife last night out on a gravel road.

Be glad that this was unusual enough of an incident that you posted about it. lol.

Highly recommend a camera. Even if it's not a GoPro, a Chinese cam from Amazon that records 1080p will do. They are all pretty much GoPro mount compatible as well so set up is pretty straightforward.

Clear footage showing plates and faces will help expedite the karma.

These posts always make me chuckle just a little. I know it’s not funny but it’s a little funny.

I've found the best response to this type of exhibition by a member of the 'neck crowd, is a friendly smile and wave. They're just trying to get a cyclist angry while they chuckle and cheer as they speed off. But a smile...and a wave, that'll thrown them off and they'll soon realize it doesn't get the desired out lash as they had hoped. Eventually they'll stop. After practicing this method for about a year, I haven't been bother for almost 9 years now.

a thumbs down is a better approach. kind of like that feeling where youre making your parents disappointed, not mad.
