[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 419443, member: 33"] Yes, they could but in this case Katherine's car didn't. Below is the view of the car we get at the point at which it is stationary and we can see Bobby and Pam in the distance, right in the centre of the screenshot. I would guess they are about 20 metres away but to be generous, I assumed it could be as much as 50 metres.
