Fair points, Richy & Simon

I don't see how it would put people off, as it's far worse starting knowing that you'll have to bear the costs of other drivers' misdemeanors.

Even so, dad & lad wouldn't have to fork out for a mega engine - just something that passes scrutineering. A crumb of comfort for the mega driver, but better than the nothing received at the moment.

I'm no solicitor, but I imagine it's currently possible to take it to court (I'm happy to be corrected), but nobody does.

As to the incident you described, I imagine the novice wasn't penalised as there was no unfair advantage or dangerous driving.

Turning to Simon's point: guilty under the prevailing rules, which definitely can't include intent.

Cases will still be appealed as long as the rules allow appeals.

As drivers would have to think more carefully about the consequences, the number of incidents requiring investigation would reduce.

I admit there would need to be a process that dealt with failure to comply within a reasonable time, but the basic principle that drivers are accountable for their actions isn't supported by the current regulations.
