minus-squareFredselfish@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 months agoTexas 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.

minus-squareoopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down4·2 months agoExactly. 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.
