That's the only other alternative to the !speedtrap command. This would be more realistic IMO. Even incoperate average speed check cameras for Westhill when roadworks are on the track.

That's if Chuck wants to get creative with coding!

Why would we HAVE to add static cameras if speedtraps were removed?

Your post sounds like server ends in a chaos if !speedtraps were removed but no other automatic speedfine gets introduced.

Speedtraps don't make the roads safer, they often just cause a brakecheck chaos right in front of the speedtrap.

Why don't we add a feature that forcespecs everyone who goes faster than the allowed speed? Right, cause it's a game and noone cares when people speed and they already lose money automatically, quite a lot if going way too fast.

So lets say the "suspect" being chased doesn't get fined by the speedtraps, but it lists a bank and at the end of the chase. IF you are caught it will add a minimum of €100 ontop of your failure to stop fine.

Speed cameras do slow people down, yes for a very short distance but, this again add's some realism towards "City Driving". If we want to slow people down for a LONG duration and keep them at a certain speed limit we would set up AVERAGE speed cameras.

I find it quite funny that because you and others choose to speed, you moan about loosing money. Lets just remember speed is not a main priority on a cruising server, although chases do have high speeds (above was explained oh how chases could be handled with static cameras)

For the sake of people who moan about being fined while being chased - I don't think it would be a problem to make Chased people immune to speedtraps.
