I think the last point there is the important one, "Button was out of the car" if he wasn't out of the car the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" is certainly applicable.
I have crossed a track to put a car out that we couldn't see if the driver was out of. We were post 24 (brands hatch) we had a good view round clearways etc and were waved by the observer that it was safe(also we knew we had bottles the other side of the track so didn't carry them over). Had the driver been visably out of the car, I wouldn't have crossed the track. A car is a piece of machinery not a life........
