There's currently a path that exits the track and lets you drive wherever.

Drawing can be much more—expressive. Plus the amount of space for text will be limited and there will be a filter. It won't be perfect, but allowing drawing is opening up a much bigger can of worms.  

Some people would spray far far FAR worse things everywhere then just dicks  

In this blog post we give an update on the release schedule for the Closed Alpha and Early Access, address changes to the scaling of the world’s map, and showcase Development Vlog #10. The vlog also contains some long requested, updated gameplay footage, which we hope you all enjoy!
