They'd obviously have to have a man with a red flag walking in front,
due to the potential for harm to others from inattention or excessive speed.

A red flag? Your joking. There would have to be at least 2 men - one in front
and one behind - both wearing full dayglo jackets and helmets with flashing
amber lights on them and warning sirens. And you'd need 2 men to sit in the
back of your car so that when the 2 outside have done their regulation 30 mins
they can swap over.
