If your flying at Cat 1 minima i.e 550m with a low cloud base,then you may not necessarily see the end of the runway where matey boy can still be turning off.
Where in a >10km day you can see matey boy turning off but still infringing the runway. So you continue past minima knowing he will be cleared in time. Happens a lot at the big boy airports.
