Unban Req (Unban Request Denied by Brad)

[[TC] Brad]

Hi,

I remember this pretty clearly but I checked the chatlogs to double-check: you didn't apologise and you actually was arguing with the player you hit because he didn't "let you pass".

Unfortunately I haven't got a copy of the replay to hand, but I recall the other player was navigating a turn at reasonable speed but you approached quickly from behind him and instead of slowing or trying to navigate around him at all you slammed straight into the back of him.

Ultimately, the rules are based on city-driving--the car in-front has no obligation to jump out of the way to let a 'faster' car pass. Unless they are actively blocking (which he wasn't) then any accident is deemed to be caused by the following car (i.e. you).

You are correct about your previous 3 day ban (ending only 4 days ago, today) for a similar thing. I think a 7 day ban is more than reasonable when taking this into account.

Do you not recall arguing with the other player? It might be helpful to hear why you think it was his fault and not yours?
