Mr Chairperson, that is correct that there might be confusion.  It was not planned that the Kombi would be brought to a halt on the low-water bridge on the cement surface. It had to take place some distance away, about two or three paces. He had to start applying the brakes on the bridge, then the Casspir would come out from the bushes.  Then the brakes would be applied. Matthews wouldn't just apply brakes for no reason whatsoever.  The presence of the Casspir would have given Matthews a reason why to apply the brakes.
