again no answer to the question... the car infront could be halted because a small wire fell off or because the car exploded in a million pieces or it stopped 200 meters in a field or sunk down the ocean and nowhere to be seen.Quote:

Correct
"Do the drivers following need to slow down/stop once they get the incar signal ?"
Do you need to slow down/stop once you get a yellow traffic light at an intersection? I would like to know as we are coming your way shortly and wouldn't like to be involved in a traffic accident.
Look we are getting away from the guts of this thread which is about Rally Argentina
Rally Argentina is over... Meeke won.
the question is simple...
Is there an official regulation that states what a driver must do if he doesn't see any sos/ok/triangle and gets an incar signal that the car in front is not moving ??
I am aware that if a driver gets a sign he must act accordingly, but so far people are accusing Tanak that he did not slow down/stop while there was no indication for him to do so (apart from a guy standing 10 meters away from the accident)

The FIA does not list a schedule of standard penalties on their website that I am able to find but I am confident that the Stewards handbook has them listed
Again, using the system that I am familiar with the yellow light is a warning that there is hazard ahead and to be prepared to stop, the safety triangle identifies the spot. The SOS or OK signs mean exactly that. If the Yellow hazard light is illuminated along with a green OK light then the road is clear and no assistance is required. If the red light is activated stop.
FYI, the Rallysafe system has identified cars in the water here in NZ. If it had been in use in Mexico at Rally HQ it would have shown the"g" forces that went into Tanak's car, the rollover and it's path off the road along with its last known GPS location. The tracks are on Google earth, HQ just zooms into where that reading is. . The cars following Tanak would have had the yellow hazard warning but no green ok. I really cannot understand why every event organiser in the world is not using it.
so no official rule, and it up to the event organiser to give direction of what must happen in case no sign is at the location of the incident... Court dismissed... Tanak not guilty...
go and enjoy the rest of your lives people.

40.2.5 If the crew leaves the vehicle, the “OK” sign must be displayed so that it is clearly visible to other competitors.
40.2.6 Any crew which is able but fails to comply with the above rules will be reported to the clerk of the course.
