Default driver figure - bad

Since we are discussing rules. The one rule I think is a complete joke is the driver figure. It does nothing for the "look" of the class and is just a pain in the arse. Since there is not clear black and white rule as to what the driver figure has to look like, we get people putting in toy space alien heads with
antennas. Or doll heads or even paper with pencil drawings. Plus, since there is nothing saying you have to be able to see the figure, there is nothing stopping someone from putting it up on the front bumper foam. The car would still be legal; it has a driver figure. I personally put it where it would be in a real car and use a pre-painted, realistic looking driver figure so as to follow the mythical "spirit" of the rules. But since it adds nothing to the class, imo, it should just be dropped.
