Choice

"In modern America, the best choice for fugitive travel is a private vehicle. The second best choice is a commercial vehicle such as a long-haul truck under the control of an underground railroad volunteer.

It's easy for anyone who knows how to drive and has a vehicle available to travel to any location; any destination in American is no more than five or six days away. As long as there's no national police bulletins out on the car, the car is in good mechanical condition, the lights all work, and the driver obeys all traffic laws, the chances of making it all the way without ever being challenged by a law enforcement officer are astronomically good. That's true even if the driver is a fugitive with his picture hanging in every post office and his face shining from every television set broadcasting a news report. "

This is what Jefferson said.
