The state of Kansas has enacted a new law requiring all commercial trucks driving on Kansas roads to have special mud flaps installed. These mud flaps have been proved to make driving in the rain significantly safer as they reduce mist created by trucks in the rain, although data regarding accidents and injuries have not yet been determined. Any truck entering Kansas must have these flaps installed or will be subject to a significant fine and delay. The cost for purchase and installation of these flaps is $1,000 per truck. In short, trucks must have these flaps or go around the state. This Kansas law:

The State of Kansas enacted a law which states any heavy vehicle especially trucks of significant height running in the roads of Alaska must installed a mud flap which will prevent mud or other debris from spraying to the rear of the vehicle.

These mud flaps have proved to reduced accidents and other damages to the vehicle as they prevent splashing mud or water from the rear wheel to the windshield of other vehicle.

But this Kansas Law is invalid because it is regarded as a Intrastate Law. This law passed by the local legislative body will have an adverse effect on the economy on the interstate business, which will cause an unnecessary burden.
