[Russell Sobie]

The bad driver would quit, but so would the innocent driver or drivers they took out, usually on lap 1. That's what the 60% helps with. Sure, some aggressive chucklehead gets to stay in the race and might be a danger to others, but once lap 1 is over, that guy's aura of danger shrinks significantly. It's the innocent drivers that get punted/dive bombed that 60% helps, and I'd rather the rules be nicer to drivers just trying to race than be overly punitive to the rare asshole.
