I'd like to add one more reminder; Don't roll the flag up around the
stick. It happened so fast I don't know what I would have made of a
guy chasing me with a red stick, assuming I would have seen him-

front. A waving red square will attract the eye a lot quicker than a
stick.

Oh yea. Another second or so and I would have had to try swerving
left since I wouldn't have been able to stop short.
