There's zero need for a system like this. Minor incidents, if they're such, don't always mean a ban will be issued. On many occasions, these incidents can be resolved in-game by a simple apology to the party/parties involved. If even after an attempt to apologise has been made, you're reported and banned, then this is unfortunately sod's law. You did something that resulted in you breaking the rules and thus you were banned; however minor that thing may have been. You may be able to prove via an appeal that the incident was minor and/or was caused by some other underlying factor. If successful, this may lead to your ban being removed and/or leniency being shown. However, whomever deals with your appeal is well within their right to stick to their guns and point out that you were banned for such and such and therefore your ban can't be lifted. In essence, do something risky, be prepared to pay the price. This reinforces the age old advice of think before you do and don't be a loon. If you follow that advice, you won't go far wrong. If you fail to, well then, you unfortunately had the chance and blew it. On top of all this, it's worth pointing out that punishments are only handed out if it's deemed necessary and, as far as I am aware, some incidents aren't punished as harshly as they once were.

I can't comment on how events happen now, as I have no interest in going to them. However, while GM, I did have the "pleasure" of providing GM support for many official convoys. Most of my time was dedicated to spotting free roamers. This was quite an easy task, as I just relied on the TruckersMP map. I can concur that this wasn't something done by many GMs, though. A vast majority of them were either doing convoy control as part of the event team or dealing with more pressing matters, such as in-game reports. Thus allowing free roamers to pass through the net. Fixing this automatically is quite a complex issue, as there's many ways of it could be approached, all of which have their own caveats. For example, you could have an exclusion zone around the convoy route and anybody not driving along that route will either be teleported to the garage in the city of the start location or kicked from the server. This, however, has challenges in that you'd have to filter out staff and you'd have to account for people joining mid-route, nipping off to a fuel station and so forth. Bringing me back to my point that all solutions have caveats. As for the route system, I think that's a great idea. It saves people having to rely on setting the route themselves and should hopefully resolve the problem of people getting lost. I'm not quite sure how it could be implemented to follow a precise route, i.e the one outlined for the event; however, I'd hazard a guess that there'd be a way of doing it using waypoints. Although, it's probably quite complex and far outside the scope of what the devs are willing to do at this time. That said, I'd like to see some variation of this in the future. To touch on the GMs not handling free roamers once more, I'd like to point out that it's not that hard of a task. I usually managed to find & deal with quite a few without that much work. Hanging around population centres such as Calais, Duisburg etc... is the best way to find them; along with, as I said, using TruckersMP map.

A fire truck wouldn't raise the issue, it'd just open an avenue for people to impersonate an emergency service. If you want to raise the issue, perhaps suggest a charity convoy in-aid of a charity whom's sole purpose is to support victims of wildfires.
