This whole discussion is really about MAINTAINING A PROPER LOOKOUT. Had Laser seen the Formula, he would not have turned into the Formula's path! He would have maintained his course (maybe even altered slightly left) and waited for the Formula to pass then turned right to head to his destination. PER THE RULES. Laser didn't see the Formula and turned sharply into the Formulas path....

Just playing devil's advocate here...can you maintain a proper lookout ( as in looking at what's ahead of you) if you are looking back over your shoulder? Isn't this why we are required to have spotters when towing others? So the driver can keep his eyes forward?
