Truck Mud Flaps

Begin whinge....
There should be a law against allowing mud flaps to have shiny surfaces on
them. I was driving down a main road in peak hour traffic in the right lane
(had just turned into road) in my lane ahead of me was a large truck with
chrome like strips on the bottom part of his mud flaps as the truck bounced
along the flaps raised up and down catching the sun - the effect was
blinding. I moved over to the centre lane but was still effected.
I wonder if the truck driver had any idea how annoying/dangerous those
decorative strips are.
End whinge....

So your saying you want to ban bad taste?? :P

Its just one of those things that a driver must accept... I've been blinded
by the chome strip on the VY sedan (not as bad as you mind you).

How many times have you been blinded by the sun reflecting off the shiny painted
rear surface of a car, or its rear window?

Not many times and not as 'strong' as what this was
