Limey and Signes pointed out exactly what I mean, IMSA has a better rule in the book but NASA book says stop immediately at the side of the track which the driver did do to some degree, he sure wasn't dead center.

So there are rulebooks saying different things, there are instructors out there teaching others, there are different sanctioning bodies flagging differently, and experience tells you yet another thing. Just more proof that red flags in general are an option of last resort and responding to them should be an exercise in common sense instead of blind obedience to something somebody said at a driver's school years ago.

Red flag = instant clusterF, 90% of the time, and 99% of the time a double yellow will do the same job more safely
