But Alan, then the thread would never get bumped

To follow up my vote, "The Rule is bad but could be fixed", I think that the intent of the rule is to
a) prevent re-scoring on the same line
b) prevent traffic flow in the opposite direction

As a driver, Positions 1 and 3 are bad ENOUGH (very terrible in fact; It literally can make or break your match), and then to get wrong-way penalties for trying to maneuver through pileups and traffic..... The intent of the rule isn't being considered. It's not like I'm driving in reverse around the track; I simply am trying to move through traffic, and if I happen to be over one of the cursed white lines, I'm screwed.

In my opinion, the rule should be written so that you cannot cross two consecutive lines in reverse order. This allows some freedom for the driver to maneuver through traffic, but doesn't allow him to go in reverse around the track to chase a ball. The disadvantage of course: it would be almost impossible to ref this.
