Unfortunately in many cases the 'pushers' have brought this on themselves by congregating in one spot on the circuit, not as intended and distributing themselves around all of the marshal posts or the designated areas set by the circuit owners. Secondly by being only concerned with their own little superstar and failing to assist any othe driver with the same urgency they would apply to their own.
Under the current health and safety laws circuit owners and organising officials are likely to be on the wrong end of an expensive law suit should an incident occur where a 'pusher' is hur or seriously injured whilst on the circuit if they are not in a designated area as intended. Most are simply waiting their own driver, stop watches in hand, from a better vantage point than offered by the spectating area.
The duty of anyone who signs on as an 'incident marshal / pusher is to deal with any incident in the sector they are covering as defined by their post location and pay due attention to that port of the circuit not simply watch their own driver and charge across the circuit to help should little johnnycake spin off on another part of the circuit.
Those who will be complaining loudest about this will be the ones with the stop watches going to their favourite vantage point in the middle of the circuit and ignoring all others for much oft the time, just take a look next time.
You sign on to do an important job of assisting the marshal not to ensure any incident that their own driver is involved in is dealt with swiftly but any other competitors in a less swift manner.
