I think you'll find that there are some nice people in ATC who will sort matters out....
Absolutely! And blessings be upon you! But the first line of defence remains correct piloting decisions, and it's worth Pedro's understanding the principles behind the rule.

When I set up this scenario during say, an IR renewal in an FTD, a dismaying proportion of supposedly knowledgeable candidates will charge off in the wrong direction. Throw in a radio call announcing another a/c is established on the localiser, and some "deer in the headlights" moments can ensue while they grapple with diminished situational awareness.
