Police inexperienced? with 26 international rallies? The area was marked with red tape and even a novice spectator follows that there can not be installed to watching cars at high speed.

I read the note and said that the case as a normal traffic accident is treated. If that were the case, everyone should be fine for speeding competitors.

Finally, what can blame Padon? having left the track on purpose? I think anyone in their right mind would say that the pilot who is vying to hit people do, do you?

Paddon did the right thing trying to straighten the car. If it has rolled over, the damage could be much worse.

no need to stop with so many people around... if something was serious the marshals would have signaled him to stop earlier...

OK sign is usually used when the accident happens in a remote place.

there was very need to stop him or rather slow him down - because of so many people there and he almost crashed in the Hyudai
no signals from marshals or has he ignored them? I see at least one man slowing him down on this video (but rather late)
and with people in hospital it was a rather serious crash

but it was not drivers duty to slow down it was the marshals job to slow him down.

If there is a car off the road, no crew visible and no OK sign out, you should stop. How can you tell the crew are ok without that?

As far as I am aware (I have only ever competed in rallies in NZ, so other countries maybe different), it is a universal standard that no OK sign = stop to ascertain crew are ok. Of course I imagine this doesn't always mean people do that, in the heat of competition it is easy to miss that.

If every driver stopped when they saw a car on the side of road without an ok sign then there would be no rallies...

Its a marshals job to indicate if the rally needs to be halted when they are close to the incident. The ok sign is used when the accident happens in remote locations.
