mud flaps are used to prevent you from throwing rocks into the windshield of the vehicle behind you while you are driving. you do want to have space between the ground and flap
on commercial vehicles, the mud flap has to be between 2 to 8 inches from the ground.

It depends if they hit the ground, they are too long and will pick up stones and they will hit the car behind you. They keep mud, rocks and water from splashing up on the back of your car, plus cars behind you.
