wrongway on autobahn question

"fz coming with like 210 kph."

He has a duty to slow down.

The first guy who passed when you boxed him would have seen you all from a distance back and also could have slowed down.

"1.5. Stay away from chases.
Let suspects and cops pass and give them room for manoeuvring. Do not follow or overtake chases. If a chase gets closer, stay passive, slow down and wait until the situation is over. Do not help the suspect or the police."

IMO, had this rule been respected, you may have been able to confine to rule 10.1.1 "Cops in chase may drive on the wrong side of the Autobahn for short distances if no alternative route is available without losing the chase, provided it is safe to do so."

Clearly this was not possible as it was not "safe to do so", and clearly the suspect has broken the rule of going WW. Had the other cars not been there, IMO it would be fine to catch up the chase making the suspect's actions less blameworthy. Although less blameworthy, I think the rule still needs to be enforced and thus give out punishment. In this particular situation, the act of going wrong side whilst other cars are about should IMO make this a punishable offence.

As much as you want admins to follow the written rules, you have to understand it's subjective and wordings such as "short distances" and "provided it's safe to do so" when applied to different situations will be interpreted differently by each admin as explained by Bez and thus each report is looked at on it's own merit. My aforementioned is the reason sometimes decisions are inconsistent with regards to the written rules.
