TOPIC: [SSRP] Driving over people on purpose

I've noticed that a lot of people on RP2 run over others on purpose. Mainly mods do this, while they are the ones who should be fighting random killing. As far as I know, running people on the street is not considered "Car deathmatch", but it is on the sidewalk.

Now, mainly mods drive around in their cars, maximum speed and on the wrong side of the road. They drive from the car dealer to the end of the road and drive back, as fast as possible. While doing this, they run over multiple people and justify this by saying "You were in the road".

The metro exit near the car dealer is in the middle of a tunnel. There are no sidewalks there so players who come out of it have to leave the tunnel and can always be ran over. Even to see if someone is coming towards you, you have to step out a little bit, and at that moment you can be ran over.

I really think that the rules should be changed so that driving with the intention of running people over for a non-RP reason should also be considered "Car deathmatch". If someone is threatening you with a gun and you run over them, I find it should be allowed as you fight someone with a weapon using your own weapon, your shiny front or back bumper. However, people speeding and swerving over the road and intentionally running into people who are standing in the road should not be allowed.

I'd gladly hear your opinions on this.

Well, I do think this should be implemented but....

How are we going to proof that they were in fact actually aiming for you (when not obvious), and not just lost a bit of control over their car or just simple didn't see you? it will be a big problem for the users to proof this to the staffmembers.

It's good to see you're taking an interest in this.

It's a rule that's hare to enforce, anyone can just fabricate a reason like "I hit him by accident, but he was on the road." There is no set side of the road for people to drive on, and it would be a nigh impossible feat to moderate the rule you are suggesting. It would open up a lot of possible roads leading to abuse, as a mod who is mad at a driver could totally ignore his pleas and warn him, and vice versa.

Also, to safely traverse tunnels one should hug the wall, it is then CDM if you are hit.

Thanks and have a nice day!

If you see a car drive from one end to the other end of the road a few times in a row while constantly running into people I'm sure you can prove it, providing that you have a video of it.

That's why I included the line:
"(When not obvious)"
in my comment.

I'm sorry, I replied to your post before you edited it and I had not seen it before you edited it.

edit:"
Nevermind, you did not edit your post, Exrobite posted just after you and I mistook this for your post. Either way, I did not spot the (if not obvious).

whats the wrong side of the road?

The amount of times this has been discussed/suggested.. ><
