Stewards have the authority to add additional penalties.

One of the beauties of the in-car system is that you get a pre-warning aof a stopped vehicle. For instance with Rallysafe we get a 250 - 300 metres warning prior to an accident scene or a vehicle stoppage as the system also transmits between competing vehicles so it is a bit like the yellow flag in the motor race scene where to do get a warning of a situation before you become part of it.

When it comes to a hearing with the Clerk of the Course or the Stewards it is pretty hard to argue that you did not know about the incident

The in-car system does not remove the requirement to erect a safety triangle approx. 50 metres from the scene but sometimes people are still extracting themselves when the next car arrives.
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.

Do the drivers following need to slow down/stop once they get the incar signal ?
