Should Mud Flaps or Mud Guards be Mandatory?

[Nmnhnlm]

I know mud flaps don't look nice on many cars. But do you think they should be mandatory for safety purpose?

 

Cause when cars go over small debris on the road, it will send the debris flying. Mud flaps will be able to prevent that. I am sure many have already kan stone chips hitting their windscreen and body while travelling, esp on NSHW and perhaps local HWs.

I think 15-20 years back they are indeed madatory for ROV (now LTA) to have them on all vehicles, then slowly they relaxed the rules and now they are not necessary on cars. Now even vans and trucks i dun see them having.

I find that most stone chips in NSH are not from cars but mostly from lorries, trucks and coaches.

Good to have them, why not...might be sexy on some cars ;)

I think if is very big debris mud guard may not even help.

 

But I agree, they are useful for protection to a certain extent.
