Left/Right-hand traffic notice when crossing from Europe to the UK

Recommended Posts

Suggestion Name: Left/Right-hand traffic notice when crossing from Europe to the UK

Suggestion Description: Show text notice in red color to the player with something like "You are in the UK now. Please drive on the left." or "You are in France/Netherlands/Denmark now. Please drive on the right.".

Any example images: None.

Why should it be added?: Obviously, people can't adapt to the change in traffic direction at once when the majority is driving on the right with their left-handed steering vehicles. When they took a train/ferry from Calais to Dover, they will arrive in the UK apparently. And the UK drives on the left. So some of them will keep driving on the right until they notice somebody is driving head-to-head towards them. Or after driving for a couple of miles, they will notice that they can only see the back of the speed limit sign.

 

Wrong way driving is bannable. I think such mistakes should not be forgiven either. But that might be the reason that nobody wants to drive in the UK anymore because they are afraid of getting a ban. Why can't we just send them a message that "You are in the UK now, remember to drive on the left" as a kind notice?

 

Ultimately, if the player spawns in the UK, the system can give him the notice right away, just after "Connection Established". (Only for the UK)

Hello Miyu*,

 

While your idea might come in useful for some people, there is no real point into introducing something like this. There are plenty of signs and other things to show people what side of the road to drive on, and if people can't read these signs, how would they be able to read our UI? That does not seem very logical. When you're driving, either in real-life or in a game, you should always pay attention to the road. Those who drive in the incorrect way of traffic obviously do not pay attention when they should, and that's where our rules kick in.

 

Thank you nevertheless for your time to create a suggestion.

 

Rejected.
