  No, it isn’t.

  Cops just don’t enforce it

    It depends on the state; there is no federal laws about mudflaps on non-commercial vehicles.

    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.

      If you mow down enough pedestrians and cyclists, there will be fewer of them, thus reducing the death statistics. It’s a problem that solves itself

        Unless it hits the road and bounces up. Happened to my parents when a metal chunk got kicked up by a truck in front of them, it hit the ground right in front of them and pierced their muffler. Claim denied.

        But licence plates seem to be optional in the U.S. Such a strange country…

  Not in US, not in Canada, but police stopped working in 2020. They figured out the get paid just as much.
