Safety Rating Feature:
1. Gaining SR:
You will earn 1SR for every 5km you drive, to a max of 100.
Additional SR will count as Safety Points on your profile.
(possible future usage)

2. Losing SR
Your SR will be reduced for every collision for other cars depending on your speed
unless there are reasons for immunity, such as:
- Closing speed <5m/s
- Own speed <8.3m/s (30kph)
- Being in the same chase as the other
- Arrived on a tow(or call) scene (100m radius)
- Another recent collision (5s)
- Being outside chase & cruise area
- Being inside a stunt-zone (to be implemented soon!)

(Apart from the speed, the immunity is indicated by a tiny green dot behind your SR number at the top)

3. Car selections
The safety rating will now limit your car selection based on your SR.
All cars are classified into one of the following groups. This classification
is based on the power to weight ratio, but can also be set manually by admins.

- 90-100% : purple (Hyper cars)
- 70-90% : green (FZ5 class)
- 50-70% : yellow (TBO class, e.g. FXO)
- 30-50% : red (STD class, e.g. XFG)
- 0-30% : black (UF1 only)

Note: This feature is currently in a test phase and is likely to receive updates
& tweaks. We will have to see for the next days and weeks to see whether its
having a positive impact on the gameplay or not.

MOT services
An MOT service is based on the UK's Ministry of Transport test - an annual vehicle inspection to check the safety of a car/truck/bus etc.

All new cars come with an MOT. However, every 1,000km (based on the vehicles odometer) the vehicle will need to be MOT'd. The 'M' in the top car-info display reflects this, where a green 'M' is good MOT status and a red 'M' means your car has no MOT. You can also check this in the Garage dialog from the home-menu.

Each MOT usually costs 100€ and can be done at 'gas stations'. Drive up and wait for the prompt on the right-hand side. There, you can get an MOT done and your car will be good to go for another 1,000kms.

Police can stop you for driving without a valid MOT certificate. In the event you are fined, you are given 5km leeway to get to a gas station to get an MOT certificate (prevents cops continuously fining you).
