Probably works for Big Windshield.
Hey jackass, this is why trucks with large tires are supposed to have mud flaps.

Bruh. If you got them on dash cam, you can 100% get them to pay. Sorry about your windshield!

Non-american here, is this legal in the US??
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 day ago
No, it isn’t.
Cops just don’t enforce it
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 day ago
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.

Street legal sure. You can’t import a bud but you can do this shit

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

Outa my way liberal! I gotta get home and eat my 72oz steak covered in cheese that my fat bitch wife microwave me after I just worked 16 hours at the ball crushing factory!

Oh hey be reasonable now, those jackasses wouldn’t go anywhere near a ball crushing factory in fear of the association with balls turning them gay.

It’s awful for the steering geometry to have the wheels offset so far from where they’re supposed to be. So not only does it eat tyres and ball joints, it also handles worse than it already would.
RIP your windshield.

The wider wheels put huge leverage forces on the suspension joints and hubs they were never designed for. With time and a few bumps, the front wheels will fall off.
All tolerated because some fucking idiot culture.

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.

Sucks about your window, bro, but this truck has never even seen mud, and that was a rock, bro, not mud. - that guy probably

Mud flaps generally aren’t legally required. However multiple states don’t allow tires to be that far outside of the wheel well.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Most countries do not allow tires to extend past the fender for this exact reason.
XeroxCool@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
Wheel coverings are required with a maximum exposure limit. The body usually does the job. Look to the 2022 Jag F-type and F-pace for little spats in the upper rear of the rear wheel arch for hidden compliancy.

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.

Is that the Sanford exit? Those trucks are done a dozen there

If no one’s gonna mention it, I will: love the Pikachu plush! my mom also has some plishies on her windshield, it always gives a cozy feeling 😊

There is no context in which having that should be street legal.
Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I’m Tennessee this is almost standard with every lifted truck. 3 out of 5 vehicles are lifted trucks. I drive a Miata.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 hours ago
Is your Miata lifted?
oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 4 hours ago
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.
isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 16 hours ago
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.
SippyCup@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
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.
Fredselfish@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
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.
