I'm not sure why you think "if the CoC wants everyone to slow down immediately" that putting the Safety Car out will achieve this. The SC doesn't slow everyone down immediately (unless it just happens that all cars are neatly following each other and the SC is launched in front of them) but will normally end up with cars circulating at near enough race speed until they catch the train.
Even with a countdown the C60 is the quickest way to slow all cars (indeed C60 would probably slow cars more than a red does).
