Traffic Violations - Strike System

[James_Hunter]

Argonath State Police Department
A.R.P.D

Over one-hundred unrecorded traffic violations take place per week in the state of Argonath, traffic collisions, hit and run incidents, and so on. To combat these problems in the United Kingdom, there is a strike system against licenses when after a certain number of strikes the license is removed permanently. I suggest that Officers be given the power to temporary removen a license for the maximum penalty of three days after an certain amount of strikes have been issued with an server command. (/strike <ID>) (/removeLi <ID> <Amount>), this would not effect any rights the citizen had, it would not effect their ability to drive or apply to a job - it may how ever be recorded in a report and effect the citizens chances at being promoted in a job that requires a vehicle, such as the ALS or even the police, the idea would just purely be for roleplay. I thought i'd suggest this here with you guys first rather then go to the public with the idea to find out what you all thought.

I recommend this idea. In Estonia officers can take licenses away too.
But, what is difference between "/strike ID" and "/removeli ID Amount" command?

[Larry "Pixy" Faulke]

i agree with this idea because no matter how many times we stop (or fine) a traffic violator, they just do the same thing AGAIN tomorrow. I once had to stop the same civilian 5 times within 5 days for the same violation. this idea has my support

[isntactive]

i agree,
and i think a lot of countries got this system,
at the netherlands we got a point system for new drivers,
and if you drive to much too hard(50 km/h) above limit you lose your license for a while

[Spartan]

I agree as well. I think it would be a great addition to the role-play functions on Argonath. And murderboy is right, ALOT of countries use this type of system including the United States, the United Kingdom, Estonia, and a majority of the world's countries.

Great to see popularity with the idea, now to explain the difference between /strike <ID> and /removeli <ID><time> is quiet simple really, after an certain amount of strikes has been given by the Police, a license can be removed by a maximum of say, three days - this has no effect on the gameplay of the player other then the roleplay and long-term benefits the user may of had such as a quick promotion in an driver job.

(Perhaps suspension from use of /taxi? or some recognition the user has had his or her license removed?) Anyway, I hope that explained it a bit more to you, Estonia.

+the netherlands, very important country dont forget it 
and james is right,
its good, more use of taxi and all that stuff

but make it like 5 strikes or something, not that he loses his rights on driving to fast

but some things:
-how you give someone a strike? or if that /strike ID is that, then how you check the number of strikes

-how you want to do the time at the removal?
in days/hours/mins whatever

[FlameMan]

ye, but only ARPD should be allowed to use it..  when driver will recieve maximum amount of strikes (for example 5, as murderboy said), his license would be removed automaticly..

when driver will lose his driver license, he will have to pass AVDS exam again, thought.. that could be nice idea James!

I did just try to explain that'un, i'll go over it again with my ideas on how the commands could work:

/strike <ID> <Reason> <Officer>             -    Gives the player a strike against his license with the reason of why it was given and who it was given by.
/Listrikes <ID>                                     -   Checks the players strikes
/removeli <ID> <Days 1-3>                    - When the license is removed, strikes reset but the license is removed for a maximum of three days.


The <Officer> part will be automaticaly added so it avoids abuse. Only ARPD Officers and higher will be able to use the commands. Thats my opinions on how it should be used! :-)

[FlameMan]

yea, but it could be good to possibility of full license remove...

[Swifty]

This idea should deffinately be executed. No matter what we do the civillians just keep doing the same thing over and over again, they just won't learn. It's quite annoying when you get rammed by random people.

[isntactive]

now i get it,
and its good, we really should get it

[Jordan]

The idea is good, Also, It should be that when the person gets 5 strikes the /removeli Command should then work instead of like 3 strikes then someones uses the /removeli command.

[isntactive]

5 strikes, officer checks how much he got,
and use that remove command, for a number of days,
it shouldnt be automatic

[Swifty]

But the question is, will they stop?. They can drive how wreckless they want to even if their license is revoked. Maybe you should be able to arrest the guy if his license has been revoked and he's driving wreckless. When you check /registration maybe there should be like :

license REVOKED or something like that.

[isntactive]

that should be too swifty,
checking strike doesnt have to be good,
he can have 5 but still have license if officer didnt took it,

and when you do /registration it is saying revoked, and then you just arrest him,
as easy like that

No because the developers will simply not agree to that. They don't want anything that restricts a players gameplay at all, otherwise we would have harsher measures; whats suggested already has quiet a bite to it, if the player wants to rank up in ARPD; if he has his license revoked and it's recorded; a bad mark for him/her!

[Swifty]

Yeah, though there should be some kind of punishment than giving tickets out. Since it's obvious for some people that it's very difficult to follow the simple traffic rules as there is.

[isntactive]

but whats the point of the system then?
why your license is revoked but you still can do everything,

if so i dont agree:
you can just do everything, even with license revoked, so its useless,

and you got new players without license

[Swifty]

Well, as James said. For an example if the criminal has recieved 2 license revokes and wants to get into ARPD it reduces his chances.
