Then you should do what everyone else with non-street-legal cars does: run them on the track with like-minded individuals, instead of putting every goddamn other road user at risk of death or injury. They don't choose to be near someone who can't do overhand tight turns because the geometry of the steering wheel doesn't permit it.

I won't. Likewise, I love driving with my knees, because I'm lazy and I like to eat while driving. Should I be arrested, even without having caused any accident ever? In your mind, I'm sure the answer is "yes", if you don't care about results, only about violations. The conservative stance I read all over the comments is quite concerning. Most modern nerds seem to be concerned first with order and safety - including shoving it down other people throats. That's quite far in one direction of the political spectrum! > They don't choose to be near someone who can't do overhand tight turns because the geometry of the steering wheel doesn't permit it. The obvious solution is to adopt the equivalent of fly-by-wire, instead of a linear response, so that 70 deg in one direction become equivalent to maximum steer. Bonus point: we'll be able to use joysticks or joypads so that our hands can rest, instead of holding a stupid wheel like we're back in the 1900s. I strongly believe we should discard old regulations ASAP, as they were due to the technological limits back when they were introduced, and regulations only pile up and kill innovation. Technology improved many things, let's adapt to it! You still have time to adapt instead of becoming a new kind of boomer.
