I still knew none of this when I was summoned upstairs but we worked it out between us and it fitted with what they'd seen happen but couldn't understand.

Agreed Colin, I had no idea why you had gone passed until I heard about it upstairs.
Another morale to the story, only overtake when the SC observer waves you through and on the observers side of the car.
