I really like this idea, and I've seen similar mechanics used in several racing games. I don't really think its feasible though, at least not with the way the control system is set up right now. I could be wrong though. Not only that, but the definition of "repeat offender" varies from Ref to Ref, regardless of how defined it is in the rule book. I do like the idea, but I think that (as of right now) it would create more problems than it would solve. Maybe in the future they can make something like this work? We'll see! Prety good idea though.
