Don't even get me started on how deadly it is to be a pedestrian.

Lol! Using crosswalks is the easiest way to die on this server.

It's already kept track, we know how many times you've broken certain laws -- and if you break them a certain amount you do lose your cars and ability to drive. This is in place.

But does it give you misdemenors and/or felonies that give you crime points?

Well irl there is this thing called traffic that stops you from accelarating, as everytime I catch a road at night or early mornings with nobody cruising I´ll just push it and everyone who drives regulary do this, its no secret. Same happens In Game there is no traffic at all, so you can speed all you want. I don´t find it unrealistic as there is a ton of car accidents daily and I was doing a bit of research and it seems two citizens dy in L.A every two hours (L.A alone), so you have to put things that put fear into the hearts of the players just like in real life which is cameras if players don´t value their lives because it´s not actually them dying, then put cameras that will fine them on the daily, and once their car gets impounded and they have to pay around 30k to have the car back, they will reconsider and be more careful while driving, because you can´t simulate an actual life, so the fear factor of dying isn´t there, but many people put alot of effort to make money and they value that, so unless you threathen their economy, items or assets you won´t change anything.

Helping people drive more responsible.

Depending on the charges, yes you get points.

The state of driving in GTAW is abysmal, quite literally. People either just hold W and their fingers/hands/arms freeze and become so heavy they cannot lift it off, or some just don't care. Ever since joining FD, I have seen so many crashes, but people do roleplay (at least most do), so that's a bonus — somewhat of an improvement from a year ago. I do not think that anything that is suggested is going to affect how people drive. You can put a camera on every corner — people will still be holding that W. I do like Mj's suggestion to play more with vehicle handling/acceleration/settings. I do remember previously seeing a suggestion to add more management of the vehicle itself (e.g., more sophisticated handling, management and so on).  Until then... you gotta check before crossing a road, else you'll be flying.

The speeding to me isn't an issue, it's people blowing through intersections and road blocks. At least make an effort to slow down.

/speedlimiter 60 takes me wherever I need to be within the city and honestly anywhere is within 3 minutes tops. Plus to me it's doing my part in making the city feel more realistic without 50 sports cars zooming around.

To those who say that stopping at intersection makes you lose time, well.... it doesn't. Just because there are no NPC cars on the road it doesn't mean that LS is a ghost town, one should still assume there is a traffic. At least respect intersections, this is a RP server not NFS. I know, it happens IRL but not in these numbers if we scale LS to LA levels population wise.
