Poll: An original idea? Mud Flaps for safety!

[Viperoni]

Hey, I was just thinking about one of the number one things people hate when driving....
and I started thinking about when it rains.
Now everybody knows that there's monster sprays coming off people's car tires, so what do you think about having mandatory mud flaps.
Custom fitted ones look nice and molded, plus they're only like $20 a pair.

Actually, the big place I think it is needed is on Big trucks and Motor homes. They have cheese quality ones on there now. I have seen a few buses with the ones that need to go on. You might have seen them, the ones where it's one BIG flap that goes all the way across the back and has the horse hair at the bottom. Needs to stick out about 4 inches on each side.

Those are the only ones that work, the standard flaps stop some but not nearly enough.

Yup, the horse hair ones right after the wheel would be ideal, but to have them sticking outside of the vehicle is impractical

SUVs and trucks definately need them. I have to throw my wipers on full blast even when its not rainging but the road is wet when i am remotely close to an SUV or truck.
