Thanks for the explanation.
Another reason IMO is simple Human nature and this applies to all forms of bad driving behaviour whether on the track or public highway.
If somebody gets away with something a bit, then next time they will push the limits even further.
My son picks his nose or doesn't do his homework and gets away with it, he will pick his nose even more and do even less homework. As a cadet on the track, if he gets away with pushing or cutting corners (especially if he gets an advantage from it and or worse praise from elders) he will do it more next time.
Just as, when Motorways were first introduced in the UK, it was never made clear that a driver should always move back to the left after overtaking and not hog the middle lane. Now the problem is endemic and it's too late to do anything about it.
Unlike, dare I say. in France, where from the start it was always an offence not to pull back in and so consequently the lane discipline is much better. Very rarely is anyone booked for it, but the habit has been formed.
A few mentions in briefings, backed up by the odd Black flag for those not getting the message, would soon have everyone back on the track proper.
