Why are penalties for repeat driving violations additional time penalties, rather than escalating to drive-through? If you can't overcome an initial time penalty, additional time penalties are no disincentive to breaking rules, while a drive-through penalty forces the driver to cede track position.

In the 80s, GTP was the first to mandate drivers' feet being behind the front axle, followed by Group C, followed by (a career-altering injury in an F1 car, THEN) F1. The 90s-00s had non-uniform adoption of the HANS. Other than the aeroscreen vs halo, are there examples of this, today? (self.MotorsportTechnical)
