I fail to see the problem with the kerbs. The drivers have plenty enough "flat" kerb to run over. The raised bit is in a perfectly reasonable position. If it is so big and evil, what with being able to hurt their cars, or whatever else is being whined about, well, they could just decide to not drive over them. If they make a mistake and hit them and cause a problem for themselves, well, then I guess they shouldn't have made the mistake.

I'd rather like to see tracks removing tarmac run-offs, replacing them with grass and gravel traps, and removing all kerbs. With no kerbs, there can be no complaining about them being too big. I kinda like the like the look of kerbs, though, so perhaps a middle ground whereby they are dramatically reduced in size: like down to one tyre width, as opposed to a car width!
