I have ASD (professionally diagnosed), and yet I've only had 1 ban in the span of 8 years. I don’t have trouble understanding the rules at all. Granted, I'm high-functioning, so there are many people who have it much worse than me.. but the whole topic around disabilities is extremely complex in itself. Nobody in the GM team will know you're disabled until you tell them, and some people's disabilities aren't severe enough that their driving won't be a threat to people around them.
That leads to a plethora of more questions though. We don't have driving tests like in real life, so what would be considered disabled enough that you're given a pardon for your actions? It also sounds a lot like an excuse, so when would it be considered an excuse when your driving is poor, or when trying to get out of a ban? Isn't being disabled enough all the more reason for them to be more careful than the average player? Isn't that something that should be taken to their GP? How would the GM team even know if they're actually disabled or not?
You're also failing to take into account the fact that if they don't get punished properly for their "mistakes", it basically enables them to continue that same behaviour. A simple kick is nothing more than a slap on the wrist towards behaviour that needs to be prevented. I've seen it countless times, time and time again, people only get kicked for them to just do the same thing again 5 minutes later when you've stopped monitoring that area (at least, from a GMs perspective).
I also think someone earlier mentioned that as a Game Moderator, you don't really know what someone's intentions are. Unfortunately, from a 10 second video of someone else's perspective, an epileptic seizure that knocks you out will look exactly the same as if someone deliberately took their hand off the wheel and caused a scene. In that case, you don't really have a choice but to assume the worst, otherwise you'd just be letting someone who had the latter intention get away with what they did... without any sort of punishment. Not to mention the fact that it's pretty unlikely that you'll have a seizure at that exact moment, and someone may just use the fact they had a seizure to explain their actions.. but the GM team wouldn't really be able to tell if they're being truthful or not.

It's not. §2.5 - Reckless Driving includes speeding up while being overtaken.

I guess it would depend on the price.
Bans are in place for the purpose of getting you to acknowledge your mistakes. The bans stack up if they are repeat offenders in a 12 month period.
If you can buy an unban, what's the point of having bans in the first place if you can just buy an unban without learning anything from your ban?
