What does it mean when you see a black and white flag displayed specifically?

The black and white flag signifies that a driver has been reported for poor driving standards. This flag serves as a warning that the officials have noted a driving violation, which could include actions like aggressive driving, weaving through traffic, or other unsportsmanlike behaviors on the track. It is an indication that the driver should modify their behavior to ensure safety and fair play during the race.

While other flags have specific meanings, such as indicating race conditions or signal to stop racing, the black and white flag is unique in its focus on the driver's conduct. If a driver sees this flag, it is important to take heed and adjust their driving accordingly to avoid further penalties, which may escalate with repeated offenses.
