Smile Car Flags!!

Ok people Do Any brits in the USA have those stupid car flags for the world cup?!. Bloody Annoying they are!..
There was a woman on TV other day Actually trying to ban them!.. :scared: ,
she said if one came off a car it could land on the visor of a passing motorcyclist and distract his vision and he could crash!.

So whats everyones view on the flag thing?.... and you can Guarantee, as soon as England lose there won't be many flags on the cars!...

Cheers everyone, world cup good excuse for plenty of booze anyways!.

I don't....and hardly anyone realises there's a such a thing as a footie world cup around here...I tried explaining it to my neighbour, couldn't fathom a competition having a couple year build up or having so many countries take part *lol*

I agree with that ! ... and over the year they actually use quite a bit of extra fuel, any object added to the outside of a vehicle does.
