Maybe an adjustment to the system to where it won't penalize the person if they are hit from behind by another player and only penalize the person that hit them.

This is not going to happen for two reasons: 
1. I suspect it is difficult to detect even in simple cases. Keep in mind, that SRS is an overlay over existing games, so the ability of the system to extract information who was in the front and who was behind may be limited. Also, SRS is free so someone would have to devote time and effort to do that without any compensation

2. On top of that, it is not always fault of the one hitting from behind. Imagine two cases: A is following B very closely (slipstreaming), they approach a turn, A starts braking in the normal braking zone, B brakes too late and hits A.  Obviously B is at fault.  Second case: exactly the same, but A brakes hard well before the braking zone, B has no time to react and hits A. Obviously A is at fault. Designing an automatic system that would correctly distinguish such cases would be very hard.
