When it comes to other trucks I deliberately avoid things like this by monitoring the distance, especially when I am on cruise control on a highway, they slow down, I slow down because you never know when you're gonna get a lag spike however it has become a common tactic for people in cars to deliberately sit in your blind spots to make their way to the front of the truck - the next thing you realise is that you rear ended the car and it's slowing you down and begins blocking you or using the in-game physics to try and tip the truck and trailer. Of course you see them coming in the rear-view mirror and anticipate something is going to happen or they're driving on ahead, pull in on the hard shoulder and wait for you to pass before coming up from behind, which is why I always have Medal running in the background to support an online report if it does. What I am asking for is an outright ban over kicking. Normally if it's a simple mistake, it's usually another trucker, not a car and the other driver will usually apologise in chat but because it's becoming such a common occurrence and in most cases it's clearly pre-planned and deliberate then a zero tolerance may be beneficial in reducing number of incidents. Of course you'll always get the troll or the players who don't take the simulator as seriously as other drivers or play it as a truck racing simulator but because of the amount of trolls and reckless drivers on the game, it's making TMP less and less enjoyable.

I think you're trying to make an excuse for lesser penalties for people who just up and afk in the middle of a road/highway rather than waiting to pull into a rest-stop or pulling in on the hard-shoulder.

Suggestion Name: Ban Brake-Checking Rather Than Kicking Suggestion Description: Please could you increase the penalty for deliberately brake-checking from a kickable offense to a ban-able offense? Theoretically this is still classed as Blocking and Reckless Driving and is a precursor to said offenses. The amount of times that I've seen drivers in cars or buses brake-checking truckers to slow them down and stop them is ridiculous and when the driver attempts to go around, the driver simply begins blocking them. Any example images: None Why it should be added: Harsher consequences for drivers who deliberately brake-check, then simply reconnect after being kicked will deter some but not all from doing so in the future.

Suggestion Name: Rework of SatNav for Junction between Liege and Brussels Suggestion Description: Please could a future update be made to update the SatNav for the junction between Liege and Brussels, you all should know the one - it is just after the sharp turn and does not notify you to merge to the left lane if you want to continue straight ahead (E40, Jct A3)? You can also miss it if you're not paying attention because it is a blind-corner. Any example images: None Why it should be added: It is incredibly dangerous as I have seen many who have slammed on their brakes to avoid going down the slip road or choose to side-swipe the driver to the left of them to barge their way through if the driver in the left hand lane has anticipated this corner. Reworking the section of the SatNav to prompt drivers to merge to left lane should fix said issue.

Suggestion Name: IP ban of serial offenders Suggestion Description: I would like to see IP banning for serial offenders. Many players who get banned simply create a new account with a different email address, then proceed to repeat and cause the chaos which got their previous account banned initially. Any example images: No Why it should be added: Rather than allowing serial offenders to create an account again and again, an IP perma-ban would greatly reduce the number of players who simply log on to troll and cause problems for those who want to take the game seriously.

I like the idea. My only concern is that many drivers choose to ignore the rules of the road especially in Calais, so enforcing it would be a pain.

Suggestion Name: Creator Account/Driver Suggestion Description: Creator Account or Driver are special accounts approved by the TruckersMP staff. Having one of these accounts will allow for officially recognised creators to use and showcase their own custom skins on any of the TruckersMP servers, these skins are hidden and can only be used by the user. To qualify for said account creators must have a portfolio of custom skins that meet one or more of the following conditions and must adhere to these throughout: 1. No NSFW content 2. No Copyrighted, Trademarked or Licensed elements at all. (Unless the creator can provide evidence that they own the license and right to the element) 3. Must be their own original work 4. Custom skins must be approved by the staff of TruckersMP by submitting and uploading the .scs mod file containing the custom skin. 5. Creators cannot and must not share their work with anyone outside of their own personal use within the TruckersMP servers. Nor can they sell them to other drivers. Breaching of these conditions results in a permanent or soft creator account ban, depending on the infringement. Their account will be reduced to a normal account and they will not be approved again for another creator account in the future. This can be appealed depending on the circumstances. Once a custom skin has been approved, the TruckersMP staff will ask the creator to rename the mod to a unique name/code that will be recognised within the TruckersMP servers. This name/code will be generated by the staff at TruckersMP. This will prevent anyone using a custom skin of the same name from accidentally using it without the proper permissions or applicable account. Any example images: No Why it should be added: It will allow for creators to showcase and have their own unique skins safely applied within the TruckersMP servers. It will help distinguish creators from normal accounts by the use of said skins.
