Faster rolling starts are not the answer.
You might argue that the likelihood of an accident should decrease due to increased spacing, but there is no argument at all that the severity of any accident that does happen will be significantly higher if you increase speed as all that extra energy has to go somewhere and ultimately drivers could get seriously hurt. In any recognised risk assessment model, that is never going to be an acceptable solution unless you can be absolutely guaranteed that the likelihood reduces to negligible levels.
Standing starts does achieve the aim of reducing the likelihood of a collision due to poor driving standards without increasing the severity of any resulting accident, but it also brings the new and significant risk of a bogged lead kart / unsighted following kart high severity collision in addition to the clutch woes being discussed here.
