At the referee's discretion, if it is determined that the driver could not have reasonably anticipated or avoided violating this penalty, it will not be called.
What does that mean for a direction of traffic penalty during the hybrid period? Would that be considered a penalty?

PS: +10 bonus points for the referees here who are going to judge with these new rules.
