Vref+20kts is likely to mean that he's overtaking the cars, so they won't see the aircraft until it is past them.

Even at Vref, it's likely to be overtaking most of the traffic. Therefore the cars that it will need to move out of the way, are the ones in front of it. They are unlikely to see it behind them.
