Interesting tactic. With a video you can easily show that the vehicle has an illegally modified exhaust and with a plate you can see who owns it. That is clear proof that the owner has broken state law. It may be more difficult to make the connection between that owner and personal harm to yourself.

Of course if you escalate this the truck owners might switch tactics from rolling coal on you to aiming for your head with their mirrors. That is another popular game from the same group. Oops - sorry officer it was an accident. I knew someone that was killed that way and the driver wasn't even charged.

I stopped riding in Alabama because truck drivers would intentionally crowd cyclists and try to run them off the road.
