Note I said red 'flag' and not red 'car'. :) Same goes for lights. I do
roadside traffic assistance at accident scenes and had to equip my van with
an emergency lightbar for the task so I had to research what was legal for
different states. Red is right out for lights/flags in the front of cars
unless you are with fire/medical/police. Some towing firms can use it if
they are on freeways as well, but they need to be certified with each
jurisdiction they are working in.
