That is unfortunate, Peter, however a lot of the problem is that drivers in all forms of racing, from F1 down to the humble clubbie, are incapable of policing themselves and driving responsibly.
You and I both raced a long time ago, and I can recall being told at the drivers' briefing that unacceptable driving would result in that driver being black flagged and excluded from further racing that day.
When was the last time you saw a black flag shown for a driving infraction? I can't remember it was so long ago and drivers are now dealt with, usually, after a race.
It's a bit like life in general; there seems to be a lot of lacking in self-discipline nowadays.
