Long story. Good read.
Basically some folks (usually men) think clean air acts are there just to make them feel less manly so they fiddle with their emission systems so they can blow black smoke and then occasionally do it on purpose to people on bikes or people they think should "leave the country" because they care about the environment.
Shorter version: Guys with little penises mad at government so they break the law to compensate.

How are you attaining this information? Are you following guys with trucks to the restroom and "checking"?

People who see other washing their ****** in airport bathrooms report back.

There are a BUNCH of these douchebags, in my area.
When I have one stuffed and mounted on my wall, I'll share pics.
No idea, concerning their manhood.
I hear tell that's more of a PA fraternal pastime.
Not judging....

I think it's more about selfishness, closed minded and near sighted. Ignorant people have a hard time thinking beyond themselves in the moment.

This is about as awesome as sitting during the national anthem because blacks are being oppressed.

Yeah they are taking a stand. Isn't that what counts?
No but if they are blowing it in the face of bikers, I'm all for it. "Hey we are just like cars and have the same rights. Until it's inconvenient, and then we are pedestrians."

Fixed that. We don't want to get them confused with biker bikers. But yeah, I'm completely with your sentiment. I'm all about sharing the road, but the law says they have to follow the rules, and none of them do. Around here, anyway.

It's statewide. That's one of the reasons I was 100% against the 3 foot passing law. From the get go I knew that people were going to get into trouble because of having to cross the double yellow line because so many of them are jackasses and stay in the middle of the lane. So they amended it this year to make it legal to cross the double yellow, and now the freaking a-holes stay in the left half of the lane.
And heaven help us when they are riding in a pack...
