And, how far he had to slide does matter. If I set up in LGP on the right lane line in your path while you are several feet away when I slide over to the left lane line because you have adjusted your path then I have fouled you. Granted, if I can REESTABLISH LGP then its a charge but the farther you have to move the less time you have to get set.
