No it is wrong, I'll admit it's wrong, but sometimes drivers think they know best...
The co-driver should be the dominant one in the car, and they have a lot of pressure on them too - it was a relief to see Ingrassia make the road timing mistake a couple of events ago to prove everyone's human! I was lucky at GB, we didn't pick up any road penalties and I managed to ensure we booked in at all controls on time [even running to get one arrival time!] but in the heat of the moment, things can go wrong.
