You leave.

What if he was cursing? Do you have a right to tell him to stop? No. You would leave.
What if he smells bad? Do you have a right to tell him to take a shower? No. You would leave.

You do not have a right to not be offended.

And if you walk by a car in a parking lot blowing awful smoke out do you go over and tell them to get their car fixed? That air is also harmful, if not worse.
That's different. His car will not pass inspection, so it should not be on the road.
