How's that? 'Course back in reality, you have a driver that's intentionally driving in a manner that lowers event safety for the sole reason of hot-dogging, and I think a Safety Steward has a responsibility to curb the behavior. If the driver refuses, you kick him/her out, if they refuse to leave citing "RTFRB!!!", then you cancel the event.
Drop the opinions and emotions and RTFRB. You are talking about taking responsibility and actions you are not authorized to do. Go reread section 4.2 and Apendix E. A SSS is not an all powerful SAFETY GOD! They have very limited authority and responsibilities.

It is possible the chief steward may have some recourse with drivers not staying within course boundaries, but even that probably has to be be more than one instance.
