TC definition of ramming and allowed tactics during chase

[James]

I think this has been thoroughly answered but to me, a nudge or whatever you want to call it can be done out of malicious intent at any speed. So I think the speed thing should be thrown out of the window. It can be easily manipulated to say someone 'pushed' someones car in retaliation. Of course then it obviously means that someone will report etc but there is no speed that should rule out the fact something was intentional, whether it be to nudge someone on purpose (when they would much rather plough into them at high speed but do it at low speed as to avoid a report). You probably would end up having every nooby driver who gets annoyed nudging everyone and if this becomes a rule of thumb, nothing would get done when it happens. Whether it be a ram, a nudge or a push, if it has malicious intent behind it, in my opinion its a ram (and should be enforced as such) whether or not its under 5mph.

So yeah, if something as light as a slight nudge has intent to get revenge or something, then it should be classed as a ram, otherwise its just going to end up being like I said, every noob crawling up to a car all casual then, blam, you get nudged and they drive off scott free. But yeah, I just fell into the same pitfall that was mentioned earlier about opinions defining what is a ram but eh, thought id say something
