(not my image. I just find these comical and incredibly dangerous)

    I don’t know. Why are semi trucks allowed to have these?

    I see them all the time even though they seem like a liability for a professional driver.

      You really don’t see them as much compared to when they were in their hay day, because they were/are a liability. But current ones are soft plastic with a thin metallic coating.

        Fast rotating “soft plastic with thin metallic coating” will just as well mutilate or even kill pedestrians or cyclists in a collision. But then US Americans do not seem to care much about those.
