How to Fly the Flag

• Proper display of a flag on your vehicle is incredibly simple. Attach it to your radio antenna using tape or string. You can also attach it to your window or your fender. However, this should be done only on the right side of the car, as etiquette dictates that the right side is considered the proper side for flag display. If your antenna is on the left, put your flag on the right fender or window. You should also make sure to take your flag down at night or during the rain. If you wish to fly your flag 24 hours a day, you should shine lights on the flag. While this may seem silly, it is proper etiquette.
  
  

Common Mistakes

• While it may seem silly to fly your flag only on the right side, this is what etiquette requires. Superstition dictates that the right side is the "good" side while the left side is the "bad" side. While this may be superstition, many people will be offended if you fly your flag on the left side of the car. Also, make sure you tie only the flagstaff to the car and not the flag itself. It is considered improper to allow the flag to touch surfaces, especially the dirty surface of a car. Never ever let your flag get dirty or let it touch the vehicle or the ground. This is considered incredibly disrespectful to your country. If you do let your flag get dirty or if it touches the ground, the flag must be burned immediately. This is the only way to avoid insulting your country or anyone else.
