Can't read their minds, can't tell if they're intentionally trying to wreck somebody, but if somebody swings into another guy's line, that would be a "foul".... what to do about it?
Beats me

There was a time if there was contact between 2 drivers the driver that made the contact’s face usually got contacted by the other drivers fist. That stopped a lot of the BS and rough driving. Nowadays a lot of these younger guys have unlimited equipment and money at their disposal so if they crash they just pull out a back-up car. There are several guys racing now that should be wearing black eyes frequently.
