No-one wants the loading or bad driving
to continue, but suggesting that a return to deliberately dangerous conditions will solve the problems is a bit like suggesting that we fit spikes to the steering wheels on the grounds that no-one will dare to make contact.

We know that in single seaters, even at F1 level, drivers will make deliberate contact or drive intimidatingly if they think they can get away withit; despite having a billion eyes on the track and the most comprehensive observation systems including satellite surveillance. Would the situation be less in karting just because we have retro-plastic?

We can ascribe the reasons for loading up and bad driving to a variety of factors, including
parental,
prestige,
commercial,
perception of risk, (bad plastic)
publicity of bad driving, (the see-how-it's- done effect)
adulation of those who do it and win,
inappropriate judicial procedures and so on.

It is quite clear that the knock-off nosecone isn't going to work on its own, simply because it will be too easy to cheat. The same people who now might load up a driver will learn to brake-test their opposition, and there will be even more people in the office complaining or explaining

We need a balanced approach, which may incorporate more parents taking appropriate action, different judicial processes according to the status of the meeting, better indication of incidents, the owners of competitions restricting access and so on.

It is not a single solution problem. Stop pretending that it is.
