The fact is, you cannot "legislate" rules to give an advantage to this car, or that car. The reason is, there is no way to quantify the advantage/disadvantage, so how do you know when it is "enough"????

It's easy to say, "Leaving on a clean tree is an advantage," and that may be true, but how about driving the stripe from behind, or owning a fast car that is unaffected by minor weather/wind changes that affect a slow car a lot, making it hard to dial in changing conditions; fast cars spin the tires; slow cars are usually inconsistent...
There is no end to this stuff.... and, trying to level the playing field by giving out advantages, is a lost cause; you'll never get it right.

A worse red light rule gives the advantage to NOBODY.

That's a big improvement over what we have now, it would seem to me.
