Why This Matters
If a lookout starts giving turn-by-turn directions instead of just flagging hazards, the driver may rely on someone without a full view of the hazard, or without driving training, to make maneuvering decisions. Keeping the lookout's role narrow, warn only, keeps the final driving decision with the trained driver.
