Ban Convoying in Busy Areas during peak hours (Especially C-D)

[ItzJChan]

Suggestion Name:  Ban Convoying in Busy Areas during peak hours (Especially C-D)

Suggestion Description: Creating a rule where convoying in busy areas of the map in peak hours is bannable

Any example images: Nope

Why should it be added?: It should be added since this causes even more traffic in busy areas. It is also dangerous since players would have to overtake them (Especially in C-D) which may cause ramming

Example: (Not yet, but witnessed it many times)

This will not be implemented due to it is not fair on some people due to timezones its common sense not to convoy along C-D but i dont believe this will help anyway.

-1 I'm guessing you don't know the rules? Overtaking on C-D is bannable well if its busy which most of the time it is... So if players overtake convoys on C-D they are likely to be banned.... Regardless I get overtaken by many players on C-D and i'm not even in a convoy so therefore your point is invalid.... You can always join another server

Not the convoy is to be seen as the perpetrator if a player ignores the following simple rules:

 

1. Only overtake if you can ensure that no other road user is jeopardized during the entire overtaking process.
2. Do not overtake if prohibited by traffic signs or in-game rules or if the traffic situation is not clear.

I do know the rules... Did you even understand the point of this thread?

The point of this thread is to ban convoys operating in busy areas during peak times

IMO, even though there are no convoy meeting places on a specific busy are; there would still be traffic.

You're not the only one playing TMP. There are others users who use it as well

I understood your point however you are saying that convoys in a busy area will mean players have to overtake them etc... My point is if you have to overtake convoys in busy areas then that will result in a ban for those players that break the rules... Another 1 of my points in doing -1 is that I never overtake a slow moving truck in busy areas so when I don't overtake it triggers a chain of players who will not overtake resulting in a convoy anyway.... So if you don't like traffic don't go to areas with high traffic

[_.Queen Rosalie._]

-1 you could say any queue of trucks is technically a convoy, so should we ban any traffic or queues? No, sometimes people are restricted by time zone or by progress level ingame or other reasons which mean the convoy can only run certain routes. 

 

Also, as long as the convoy leaders express that when passing through busy areas that all participants follow the rules strictly and professionally, after all, they're just a group of trucks passsing through, so why should they be banned from driving that route? 

 

I mean, back when I first started playing ETS2MP back in 2014 we had company and admin convoys passing through Europoort and Rotterdam all the time at peak times, yet nothing changed. And that's the point, you've got to stop thinking of a convoy asa convoy and think of them as a group of trucks driving on a route, I mean it's no different than picking up a load in Calais and be stuck in a group of trucks all the way down to the other side of the Duisburg road, does that mean you should be stopped? No, so why should a convoy that is litterally just a group of truck moving from one location to another be penalised? 

 

So no, I definite do not and never will support any ideas like this.
