The server does not actually drop you, unless your computer stops talking to the server.
This is normally caused by some type of Internet problem. The quickest and easiest way to know what is going on, is to use Ping Plotter to run a plot to 71.252.137.146, after a drop, and see if there is a connection issue along the way.
www.pingplotter.com has a free version of their software at the bottom of their downloads page. It is easy to run and does not add anything it should not add to your computer.
Once the determination of where the potential issue is, then it can be addressed. Please note, you will see a 100% packet loss on the hop just before the last one. This is normal and does not indicate real packet loss. It simply means that particular router does not honor the "ICMP ECHO" packet Ping Plotter/tracert/traceroute/ping uses.
As far as perk points, it is unfortunate the server cannot know why a connection has gone away. There is no protocol for the server to be able to get that information from an errant connection.

If your afraid to lose the perks, YES :D
Perks are easy enough to come back. It's not really something to worry about.

I suppose you can say that if you are any good at the game, which I am not.

We all were new at one point. Very few start off "good" at any aspect of this game. It usually takes practice and plenty of seat time to get half way decent. Look at this as an opportunity to hone your craft. Stay out of the high end rides and learn to kill in the lesser rides. It will make you better in the long run, you will build up a perk point reserve, and you may find that you don't need the uber ride to succeed.
If you haven't already you might want to get with a trainer. WWhiskey is the GV trainer and will most likely be able to enlighten you on ways to better use your GV's. Try sending him a PM and seeing if you can set up some GV training time. You might also try reaching out to players that are successful in the rides you want to master. You'll probably be surprised how many are willing to help.

What is your in game name, how long have you been playing, what time of day do you play? Maybe we can help you get better.
