I think this is a great idea! All teams at the start of the race get 1 "Free Pass" that they can use any time during the whole of the race. So for example, they can get stuck on a detour task so they decide to use the free pass to skip the task and go to the next clue. It can only be used once so its best to keep it as long as you can (excluding the last leg of course).

so would you be able to skip the roadblock..?

Either roadblock or detour not sure? What do you think? Maybe a detour because its a task for both team members.
I think it will make good TV as the team arriving at the detour last, can skip it and overtake teams that are already there. Could make for some close finishes.

^Now that's a good twist that can't cost production money.

OMG! "Person 1 & Person 2, currently in last place"
They use the Free Pass
"Person 1 & Person 2, currently in 1st place"
AHA! All in a matter of seconds LOL!

True.
Oh, and they could change the name possibly. Cuz all the clues are 'street ish' names. E.g. Roadblock, detour, yield, u-turn, pitstop.
They could change it too Side Road...highway....Express Way or even car pool lane haha.

Ummm not quite... if they were the last 2 teams that means all the others could have finished that task already and already heading towards the next pitstop so how could they get to 1st place?
Also, if there were a bunch of teams on the same task, 1 teams uses the free pass so the rest may get the urge to use theirs as well. I honestly think this is a good idea.
