!	Bad road condition; in my opinion, you should slow down.
Rough Rocky	Advisory road report; you decision as to whether you must slow down some or a lot.

Remember, transit penalties are only 12 seconds per minute late.

DNF cars: Sweep will advise the service radio person about broken/crashed cars as soon as practical. However, remember that communications from the backwoods of Maine is normally sketchy. If your car is a DNF (by MPL, crash or mechanical damage) in the first running of a repeated stage, it will be left by sweep and dealt with after the second running. Although sweep will help as they can, it is the responsibility of the competitors to retrieve their own cars.
