I drove through a very lightly flooded street yesterday and could see the muddy water kicking up from the wheel to the bumper and in front of the grille and over the hood. Not the first time I've seen it, and I get the dirty bumper like that driving on wet gravel/dirt roads and parking lots even though I don't live in an area with bad wintersFor fuel economy as a likely top of the list reason (yes, it makes a difference), but also possibly this (pic below) - in my case driving in the winter in certain conditions what you see on the top of my original bumper actually blew back onto the windshield. Not a soul in front of me for at least half a mile and my own wheels where throwing things forward and then it blew back against the front glass.
This is absolutely not the worst example I've got pics of. When your own wheels throw stuff onto your windshield on the HIGHWAY, no less, I can see why it may be necessary to close that gap in SOME countries. (that and economy because it matters. Look at how semi tractors and trailers divert air from the fronts of the tires)
Other countries have had more strict (safer and saner) lighting rules than the US for decades. We've always been behind as a country because we are a country of "how dare you tell me what to do, if I want to kill someone with my mods, I will".
