I appreciate that you were cautious while doing so, however rules state that arab drifting can be performed in stunt zones only. Nothing says that you can do it outside stunt zones when being cautious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafheet

"Arab Drifting, Saudi Drifting, or Middle East drifting, known in Arab countries as Tafheet (تفحيط), or Hajwalah (هجولة), is an illegal street racing–like phenomenon believed to have started in the late 1970s that involves trying to "drift" cars; to drive cars that are generally non-modified factory-setup rental cars at very high speeds, around 160–260 km/h (100–160 mph), across wide highways throwing the car left and right. In the process, racers often drive dangerously close to traffic, barriers, and spectators"

As you can see in my replay: No highspeed, no traffic (I even moved for traffic if there was any), no wild moves across all the road, just normal drifting. If I would have done this in an XRT or FZ5, no one would have bothered.

First of all I dont recall getting warned for arab drifting at all. In fact, I dont remember getting into any trouble, except my stupid ban half a year ago and a warning for pushing someone as a cop that did not move for sirens.
However, I checked the user reporting archive and these are literally the last cases that are similiar, or even worse, even though the reported players aren't newbies and have served quiete some time on the TC servers, yet there punishments have been a LOT lower, than my punishment.

case 1:
http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthre...?tid=29401
"abo.abed received 7 days ban for arab drifting, talking arabic in main chat and trying to interfere with chase in order to help his friend."

case 2:

"psykoze will receive a confirmable warning advising him that arab drifting is not allowed."

case 3:

"v8-n6l received confirmable warning for arab drifting and drifting roundabout."
User info of the reported player:
Username: v8-n6l

Playing time total 282 hours

To remember: my original ban lengths was 2 months (now 14 days)
I could go on with these examples, but I do not want to spam this unban request with other cases, as this one is about me.

I obviously realised this, when I went through the replay. I dont get why you didnt just contact me at that point. If you would have told me to stop I would have done that immediately.
