Comment on Hey jackass, this is why trucks with large tires are supposed to have mud flaps.

  It is not. Wheels are not supposed to stick out past the fenders, for one, and mud flaps are mandatory for vehicles past a certain height.

    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.

  I’m Tennessee this is almost standard with every lifted truck. 3 out of 5 vehicles are lifted trucks. I drive a Miata.

    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.

        I saw a guy driving a lifted El Camino once. I was confused, impressed, embarrassed, and appalled all at once. I’m sure there’s a German word for that…
