Redraft the instructions currently in Section 5, clause 1.8, of the Operations Code, to make it clearer under what conditions "absolute necessity" applies when considering the option to signal the movement from a position on the ground.

The decision as to where to signal the movement is a judgement call by the shunter concerned taking in to account all local factors and therefore the need to express 'absolute necessity' is taken out of context with the original Code Instruction.
