Ok, here's a little scenario. You've just spun & ended up in the middle of the track, at right angles to the traffic. A bunch of cars is bearing down on you at race speed (waved yellow, doesn't apply to me..... ) In front of you is a gravel trap, behind you a wide grass runoff. What are you going to do?

Shoot into the gravel trap, because the way these reverses work it would take ages to get off the track backwards! there is no way I would risk using it to clear a track in front of a pack of cars!!
