Tabe,

I've done design work for trucking fleets who call these features
"worry bars." They're designed to keep the brights out of the trucker's
mirrors and to discourage tailgating.

I suspect they are legal in all 50 states, or the firm I was working
for wouldn't have been using them for 20 years.
