@@andyowens5494 sure, I can give it a go! I see flags in my peripheral, they sort of just pop out, I don't look directly at them. Sometimes I notice a flag way in the distance and surprise myself that I took that info in. One example is in 2016 metro cup race at brands. I span under "double yellows" coming into paddock as fluid was down. I spotted a single yellow flag as I came out of clearways start of the straight, and being tucked up behind the guy infront I saw the yellow being brought in through his back widow and visually through the car it's not very crisp with him and evrything else I'm concentrating on. Anyway, up to the clerks office after, I have my story, he didn't believe me and we watched the cctv. 7 seconds before I get to the corner the double yellows were pulled in for singles (why not orange and yellow I don't know). Now I said, see, pulled in. Granted my view didn't allow me to see the other flag, but surely benefit of the doubt would be nice thay I wasn't just being a prick. Nope.... Clerk doesn't like being proved wrong infront of the other officials and 3 other waiting drivers..... So I got points anyway. 😂
