Well, in practice, the DON'T PASS part is required, while the SLOW DOWN part can sometimes be waived. I mean, there's slowing down, and there's SLOWING DOWN. Sunday during one of the regional races at Road Atlanta, we had a full course caution (double yellow), with the safety car out, at one point due to a serious, car-on-fire-on-the-track incident.
Now that sounds like a bad call by race control. Car on fire on track should be a red flag. But putting the fire aside, it sounds like all slowed down for the yellow until they knew where the trouble was and then went fast to catch the field away from the incedent.
