Bill Talk

Good morning, afternoon or night everybody, it’s your favorite shark boi here today to discuss a recently proposed bill. Before I jump into it, I am not dissing the original maker of the bill but I am however critizing the actual effectiveness that the bill will have.

First off before I start, I completely understand this is a big jump at trying to establish a great amount of realism into our driving in this game and forward and I appreciate him trying to revise it and work on it but again like I said, some areas in this bill and their effectiveness may be not very well. Now let us begin.

Section 1 is generally just definitions of what he will be mentioning later and exemptions. There is nothing wrong or bad here that I see and it is generally good overall. I appreciate him trying to define a lot of types of intersections we have/may have and so forth.

Section 2 is where we have some conflicts. Many sections I feel and I do believe others will to are gonna be a pain to enforce and I bet you anything that most of this won’t be followed on a general basis. I understand he is trying to push at realism with this section but lemme just explain why they may not be the best idea to add for now and potentially later.

First, Section 2a states:
“While outside of built-up areas, no vehicle may pass another vehicle on the right”
This part right here is something anyone who can currently drive or knows basic road laws that this is a general regulation for most states in the US today. However, I don’t believe this will work in V2 and most likely V3 as well. The reasoning to this is simple, our cars are a pain to drive and we all know this. Whenever I drive, I always try to stay in one lane but it is never long lasting as the cars generally won’t line us up with the lanes with ease and you may start to drift into another lane and so you then may just decide to let that happen and try to straighten it as you flow into the next lane slowly and then that ain’t perfect and you start drifting into the lane you may have just left and then if you decide to just try and stick in your lane and try to maneuver your car and then it just decides to take a sharp turn with your small key input and next thing you know, you are starting to ride on the side and I can go on and on about this and we all know this has probably happened to you at some point or is happening to you. Also, I always see people driving on the left, right, passing on both sides, etc and honestly the drivers that mostly populate our streets now I can bet you will not follow this section as all. Please also note that this is talking about places like highways where speed limits are higher and the handling at higher speeds with the cars are to say the least interesting unlike when you may be driving like in city areas where I think you could say that it would be more plausible that people would follow them but I digress.

Other sections including 2b, 2c and such have similar effect. However, I do not critize this entire section with parts such as 2d being something that I think can be easily controlled as you can’t really speed unless you are on a pretty high gear but again, I digress.

Section 3 is actually really nice, helps define the right of way well and I believe is a pretty solid section overall as well as Section 4 and 5 which are self explanatory.

Idk maybe I’m just overacting and that people will be able to and will actually follow these lanes regulations in the county but I have a slight feeling they won’t with again seeing the type of drivers we currently have.

Anyway, what are your thoughts? How can he improve on this? What is good about the bill?
