Why didn't they stop at the light flashing, and especially the first volley? Arguably, it can be said that they didn't know who was there and they were afraid to stop. So, they were going really slow on the worlds most dangerous highway and were too frightened to stop, but not so frightened that they didn't speed up instead? When I am traveling on our roads, at an average speed of 40 mph, I have no problem immediately braking when situations arise.
Again, the fact that they were on the most dangerous road in the world belies their claim that they were driving slowly, especially since they had just 'escaped' from the clutches of the terrorists. No doubt there was a huge ****up, but I am not convinced it was ours.
