Yeah, the rule of having someone in front of you looking the other way
is in the top three. If you see them ducking, it's a good clue that

I suspect that you also try to keep an eye on the communicators and if
you see them reaching for the mike or grabbing a flag that's a good
clue.
I would also make a habit of calling out the numbers of cars as they

and to make it easier to callin the number of the guy who just had an
