+ Cop ramming (Report Archived by Nick)

[[TC]►Nick◄]

Qatar, it was very clear to me you were preparing to turn left onto Snake Pass. You actually used your indicator far in advance which is quite rare for most players on the server, so KooKoo should have seen you were turning left and accounted for this. You are correct when you say he moved from right to left to get behind you, before pushing you from behind.

KooKoo, Qatar is in the right here, and this time it is you who is in the wrong. Qatar was correct to hold his line, as he was committed to turning left at this point. It would have been dangerous for him to suddenly move to the right hand side of the road at this point, and instead you should have passed him on the right as he had been signalling his maneuver well in advance. As you are keen to draw comparisons with reality, this is what would actually happen. You instead got far too close to him, couldn't brake in time and pushed him forwards.

It could be interpreted that you were blaming Qatar for this, as instead of saying "sorry" you sarcastically said "nice moving" as if you were suggesting his lack of moving for you was the cause of the crash - let me reiterate, it wasn't.

KooKoo, in future, if a car is clearly turning off the main carriageway, you don't need to pass it in the normal fashion - you are allowed to pass it where there is space. Common sense should prevail here. I will be issuing you a warning about your driving standards as a cop. Try not to bully other road users in future.

If either of you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
