I agree with what everyone has said so far. I think a few people have been disobeying this rule which is why we've had a couple of dirty racing accusations recently.
1) Even if it didn't happen on your screen, wait if you can see that you hit them on their screen.
2) Do not feel obliged to instantly stop your car, let them past at a wider part of the track if necessary.
3) Check for other people before rejoining the race track.
I have broken all these rules at least once but I, and everyone for that matter, should now strictly abide by these rules.
A good racer is fast, consistent and clean.

Tremendous read. However the one move rule cannot even begin to apply to gta. The case studies an examples were fantastic. |

Sure we could try to implement it via the forums, but not all 1,300+ members of the crews are on the forum and not everyone checks their social club account. So we could not get it out to the masses. There is also no way to penalize the behavior that is within good taste. Booting someone from the crew for making one move on a straight would be ludicrous. Just using that as a possible outcome . Besides I have never seen anyone try to weave to keep me from passing. Only to keep their car stable after breaking traction. Or they are twitchy on straights with nerves to not hit other drivers. |

It's not "fair" doing something like this I agree but no NODO I have raced against has done that to me before. So I think it is somewhat of a moot point to be debating on. If anything put it under guidelines of conduct. Use that specific example of it to show it is not an acceptable means of defending. But moving over in the road multiple times if you are not defending does not hurt anyone but maybe your lap time. |

The entire North Loop endurance race people were doing that to me when I was battling my way back to the front. People were driving completely off the racing line to weave in front of me on straights. ALL those people are on this forum. |

That's a very good read. Good work finding that  For me it's the dive-bombing into a corner that is more of an issue than the one move ruling. Too many times I've been caught out by someone diving up the inside from miles back and they end up locking up the brakes and t-boning me. The other major issue (always is, and always will be in racing) is 5B of this article 'Disputes over the apex, Attacker less than halfway alongside'. I'm pretty sure everyone else in this crew has had the same issue before, I know I've had it several times. Aside from setting up threads like this I don't know how to get it across to other members that it is not acceptable. |
