It depends on the state; there is no federal laws about mudflaps on non-commercial vehicles. Only 7 states have explicit rules requiring them, and another 6 have conditional rules.

Those wheels also grab pedestrians and cyclists and pull them under the vehicle at intersections. Record numbers of pedestrians getting killed but we decided to prioritize toxic masculinity.

:(

They're more of a goal for the wealthy and elected officials

Texas it used to be illegal for trucks with dual tires or tires like that not to have mud falps. I once got pulled over for it.

But today it's not. I don't what happen but suddenly it not illegal in Texas anymore and it should still be because of shit like that.

Your mileage may very. I've checked ordinances in the 4 states I frequently drive in and didn't see any of that mentioned for any of them.

Is your Miata lifted?

Exactly. Lifted trucks is part of what I actually meant.

Large consumer tricks should be banned as well.

I would even add high performance cars all the way down to mustang level.

If it's too big or too fast, get it off the road.

Imagine being such a zero that you're willing to ruin your truck, your wallet, and what little driving characteristics it had for, uh, idk, beats me.

I knew there were rules for that with commercial vehicles, I wasn't sure about private. And it gets even more complicated since every state is different.

Lmao ye
