Why are there so many safety car laps in BTCC? Because the Observers/Clerks do not trust the drivers to respect the flags so an incident that could be covered under Waved Yellows is upgraded to safety car.
Regarding the Snett BTCC, I only saw it on TV so there may have been other reasons, but a Medical Car, complete with flashing lights, covered by waved yellows means BACK OFF.
From the on car footage on Setanta it was very hard to see the medical car on the track until you were on top of it. I still dont know why he parked it there as he could have put it in the pit lane exit.
