To be fair , shifter , they would be allowing calls related to safety , so the brake issue might have been one they could manage without sanction .

However , this brings to mind the thought that they could perhaps just preface many of the transmissions with "To be safe ," , as in "To be safe , you should try a wider entry to turn 7." , or "To be safe , you should save your tires ." .
