Vehicle Regulations
Rules for driving, vehicle combat, and vehicle-related roleplay on Next RP.
Applies to Everyone
These rules apply to all players operating any vehicle — cars, bikes, boats, and aircraft where applicable.
General Driving
Vehicles are part of roleplay, not a free pass to ignore immersion. Drive like your character would in a real city with traffic laws and consequences.
1
No VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch)
Using a vehicle to intentionally harm or kill another player without valid in-character motivation and prior interaction is prohibited. Ramming, running over players, or using cars as weapons without RP context is VDM.
2
Realistic Driving
Excessive speeding through dense areas, stunt driving without RP reason, or driving off unrealistic terrain (unless your vehicle is suited for it) breaks immersion and may be actioned.
3
Traffic Laws
Police may enforce traffic violations in-character. Failing to stop, reckless driving, and hit-and-runs should be roleplayed with consequences — fleeing without RP is not acceptable.
Pursuits & Combat
4
Pursuit Limits
Criminal pursuits must remain realistic. Excessive loops, driving into water to exploit mechanics, or prolonging a chase with no RP purpose is not allowed. End pursuits when the situation has naturally concluded.
5
Pitting & Ramming
Pitting or ramming during pursuits is only permitted when it makes sense for the vehicle type and situation. PD must follow their faction handbook for pursuit tactics.
6
Shooting from Vehicles
Shooting from a moving vehicle is restricted to situations where it is realistic and necessary. Drive-by shootings require prior RP escalation and cannot be used as random aggression.
Aircraft & Specialty Vehicles
Helicopters, planes, and specialty vehicles may have additional whitelist or faction requirements. Operating them without permission or using them to gain unfair advantages is prohibited.
7
Vehicle Ownership
Vehicles obtained through the economy or factions must be used in-character. Selling, transferring, or exploiting vehicle systems for OOC gain is not permitted.
