I heard about this incident from another sidecar person, and frankly, the driver concerned should have been black-flagged and disqualified.
We need tough, decisive action on people racing through flags, AND more flag points so that stationary yellows can be displayed well in advance of incidents, and green flags can be displayed immediately after, removing any doubt for riders.

In my experience(first and second hand) no action is ever taken against offenders. Is it any wonder therefore that people ignore flags.

Perhaps they could start by actually naming the offenders.

They did and the culprit appologised and it was decided to take no further action.

I've said it many times before - the end of the TT will come as a result of a shortage of officials, no other reason.

Thanks Sam, my feeling is it will be "Insurance" that ends it, if anything does.
These two causes may well be interconnected.
Let's not think about it?

I was reading this with horror yesterday, if the police are pulled out, there willn't be many officals left. Things badly need looking at all round.
I took part in some marshalling during TT practise
week and I for one will certainly try to attend
some marshalls meetings to put some points across,
couldn't help during race week due to work, wasn't any point during lunch break !
