TC definition of ramming and allowed tactics during chase

[Turkey]

Yes, I was just replying to PeePee. It sounded to me like he was talking about casual driving.

As for in chase, I tried to answer where the line is drawn between permitted contact and ramming in the long reply (different account - sorry for confusion).

I should point out some of the things I said are allowed, aren't all recommended in the cop guide. The only recommended contact maneuvers are the PIT and BOX. However, you are allowed to be inventive with your techniques. For e.g - using a nudge/push in the necessary place to direct your opponent onto sand, where they could be boxed in or get stuck. I do this often with certain cars. Especially when the car has high Tyre temps.

I had a look at your replay. Due to the fact you hit him with a closing speed of over 30mph, had enough time to see the cop's position and come of the throttle to steer around him, I would classify that as a ram. But in this case nothing to worry about - you proved it was accidental by giving up your chase. IMO this was the best thing you could have done to say sorry and show you had no malicious intent. You were also accidentally rammed just before the incident, which may have made you react by accelerating hard. I can understand wanting to do that. Like Tommer said, people make mistakes, you won't get banned/kicked for something accidental. Just say sorry and make sure the person you hit understands.
