re: Driving to Tuscaloosa

Always speed traps around Laurel and Meridian. I don't know about any laws, but I'd advise against the flag in the bed of your truck. You'd be bringing unnecessary attention to yourself and be far more likely to be pulled over if you are going even 3 miles an hour over the speed limit. You should be able to make it to Tuscaloosa in under 5.5 hours though.
