How is it unfair? Everyone else can do it too.

As I have stated, the rules say nothing about pushing, nothing about nudging a competitor wide, nothing about the driver alongside having the corner, nothing about loading etc etc. It really is down to drivers and officials to determine what they think is fair or not and what is safe or not.

Most drivers have no problem with being pushed down the straight, most have no problem being pushed off the corner, most do have a problem being pushed in the braking zone, squeezed off the circuit, pushed wide in a corner and plain old being fired off.

The Kimbolton COC's position on pushing (in the pushing for equal benefit sense) is nonsense. It has no relation to accepted practice at almost any other club or national championship. However, he quotes the same rules as you/I have and applies penalties as such, as is his right.

Should there be more specific regulations regarding driving standards? I don't think so as to do so would require a regulation for each specific circumstance and someone would have to determine which circumstances applied to the incident at hand. Much better to have a general "drive fairly and safely" rule and let the drivers and officials reach an organic/evolving consensus about what is accepted.
