I’m all for this. It’s getting harder and harder to commute on the freeway with a speed limit of 70, when you’re surrounded by 18-wheelers making lane changes and throwing rocks at you and so forth. The other day a mud flap flew off a truck and smashed my windshield. I don’t call it my drive to work anymore, I call it my daily Ben Hur chariot race.
I hate when a truck decides to pass another truck and takes 5 miles to do so.
Ha! And mud flaps coming off is mostly a preventable situation. Too many truck drivers don’t keep an eye on mud flaps good enough. And sometimes the ones working construction will be backing up in muddy conditions, and the flaps get ripped partially or entirely off.
Just remember: the place you live, the place you work, the car you drive, the gas you burn, the road you drive on, the food you eat,...... is made possible by trucks. If you got it, a trucker brought it.
