    You have to look at it as if the flag is flying. When it's on something that moves you need to place the stickers so the leading edges of a flag in something like a parade is to the front. So from one side the star is to the left, from the other it's to the right. US flag is the same deal.

    But that's if you can see the same flag from both sides,like on a US warship.But if you are hanging a flag,stars to the left.

    But it's not a flag on Ben's bike,it's a decal.

    Decal is a flag and it's on a vehicle - you don't need to be able to see it from both sides. Not to mention - just like a warship you can see both sides in the picture above :Poke:

    You can't see through the bike.

    Ok,Mr Spies,paint your tank with the Texas flag so Shaun will be happy,like ho-hos and syrup happy.This way the star is always out front.

    Happy? :p:D:):p:D

    You can see through a ship?

    What in the world are you talking about?

    Go to the airport, look at planes. Google it, look at US military planes.

    Has to do with the colors (flag) never retreating. The flag should always face forward - and be reversed to show forward motion as required.

    It is also referred to as the 'highest position of honor'.

    Mongo is right...

    http://www.flagsoncars.com/etiquette.html

    "In application, then, flags are displayed on moving vehicles with the blue-star field always displayed towards the front of the vehicle. In this way, the flag appears to be blowing in the wind as the vehicle travels forward (flags are always attached to their flag poles on the blue field side). If the flag were not reversed on the right hand side of the vehicle, the vehicle might appear to be moving backwards (or "retreating")."
