Duty of care to a driver?

[Hepatic]

think that hits the nail on the head. you take the incident in and decide on so many things very quickly and part of that is do i trust these drivers? personally if it had been F1, BTCC, F3, GP2 or anything of that international nature i'd not have stayed once ascertaining the driver was generally ok. i witnessed a very scary moment during a GP2 race once that galvanised my view on that - car in a horribly dangerous place, little or no view of on coming traffic and none of the drivers even lifted let alone braked for it whilst one marshal was by the car. if i trust the drivers to react accordingly to yellows then i feel more comfortable for to stay longer and generally you get that in club meetings because the drivers are there for different reasons than in international events.

it sounds like you did everything right. you got the drivers condition relayed to race control as quickly as possible then took a balanced judgement of the best course of action. the key thing being keeping a constant watch on traffic for anything that might endanger yourself, which on the bank is #1 priority. job well done and i'm sure greatly appreciated by the driver concerned.
