RE: Waved Yellows
When Hutchy did 5 in a year this topic was raised then, especially as he set his fastest lap on the last lap of one race, yet there had been an incident and he had to pass through waved yellows. Or that's what was alleged on the old board by someone, who appeared to be in the know, at the time.

I guess it's the proof thing really - as a rider you think you've slowed enough, but as above, what feels like 30 mph to the rider is probably more like 70mph due to the speeds he's been travelling at previously. So the rider thinks he can stop, but the people on the ground don't think he can - who's side do you take, and more importantly how do make sure this way of treating these incidents is repeatable? Using people's perceptions of what is safe, and isn't safe, is not repeatable from one marshall to the next.

Sector times would show if you've slowed so I guess that's the only way, but again if you as a rider have slowed to what you think/feel is 30 mph (but it's actually 70 or so), how can you say the rider is in the wrong? He did what he thought was correct at the time.

Pit lane limiters to be used in accident zones???? (that's a can of worms I'm not getting into, but I don't agree that's the solution)
