I'm not sure what has happened. I drove for 75km then went to the pit and spectated. I then went to watch The Apprentice on the TV, came back after it was finished and was unable to enter the server and it says I have been banned for 6 days as you see in the screenshot. Please can you sort this for me? I was so close to being able to buy my first car on TC after some hard work driving!

Love,
Stephanie

Oh that is ridiculous.. 6 days lol

That guy followed me around the track for something like 2 or 3 laps. He often plays in WS which I also play in a lot. I did not see the "Sirens" saying it was chasing me. Not being funny but there are "Sirens" on my screen 80% of the time. When he catches up I see him in my mirror and pull to the side (I thought he wanted to pass me) but squashes me against the barrier which is why I said something like "?" (I think).

I am new to TC so don't you think that was a little harsh? He fined me immediately as I stopped which is hardly fair and 6 days for this. I will become a cop as soon as I get 2500km and farm off the cruisers too especially those with only an XFG

Not happy,
Stephanie

I appreciate you weren't happy he made contact with you, but remember that you were 'running' and that he was trying to bust you. He wouldn't have known at this point that you didn't know you were being chased.

One thing that cannot be excused though is your general attitude - i.e. the way you spoke to him and then rammed him as you drove off. Can you explain why you did that?

There are always cars behind you. I made no attempt at running and he was so far behind me that he was barely visible in the mirrors. In fact I was still driving to the speed limits. You must remember that the speed limit is tiny in the top right of the screen. I am new and still trying to learn the speed limit and layout of the track especially since the speed limits are constantly changing. I have not memorized this and today I have played without any problems and have been doing just fine and got most of the track worked out now...

Of course I can explain why I crashed into him because I don't lie and the honest truth is because I was angry with him that he fined me instantly without explanation and I think it was for like £360 which is a LOT for me as a new player and especially because I was just driving and not trying to get chased or break the rules...

A warning could have been enough but nope... cops make far too much money through fine rewards so will want to do that at every opportunity which is understandable.

Well, that's my side of the story. If this is really such a horrific crime then I will have to serve my punishment but I really hope you can re-consider and take it a little easier on us newbies

Do remember it was put in place for a reason.
