Back in the day, long before the EPA, that was a pretty common way to do it.
Same with draining the radiator, pull the car over the sewer in front of the house and open the petcock and let her drain.

I think we should all hang our heads just a little, over this. What a shame, and a shameful thing to do...
To the OP, why didn't you take a picture of his license plate, and give it to law enforcement?
Do the right thing, when faced with a choice! It's called being a good citizen, a good person, a good man. An adult, amongst the children...

Well, back in the 60's I always drained my radiator in the street and flushed it with garden hose. And dug a hole in the back of our lot for pouring my used motor oil. Seemed perfectly natural back then
But then again, also didn't use kiddy car seats, seat belts, bike helmets and all our poop went straight to the river, just different time back then.
Today. . . . turn the oil dumper in !!!
