xCOMMANDOx Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 If you look at the image, a sign in the back the right of Niko says: "Don't Block The Box", then under that it says: "Fine + 2 Points". Now i am assuming that this means as a punishment for breaking the law you get a fine and 2 points towards your license. So, will there be a license test you must take? Here is what I'm talking about. NEW YORK DMV POINT SYSTEM Speeding (1-10 MPH over posted limit): 3 points Speeding (11-20 MPH over posted limit): 4 points Speeding (21-30 MPH over posted limit): 6 points Speeding (31-40 MPH over posted limit): 8 points Speeding (more than 40 MPH over posted limit): 11 points Reckless driving: 5 points Failing to stop for a school bus: 5 points Following too closely (tailgating): 4 points Inadequate brakes: 4 points Inadequate brakes while driving an employer's vehicle: 2 points Failing to yield right-of-way: 3 points Violation involving a traffic signal, stop sign, or yield sign: 3 points Railroad-crossing violation: 3 points Improper passing, unsafe lane change, driving left of center, or driving in wrong direction: 3 points Leaving the scene of an incident involving property damage or injury to a domestic animal: 3 points Safety restraint violation involving a person under 16: 3 points Any other moving violation: 2 points Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/306169-drivers-licence/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
shattered-minds Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 And the point in that would be? You'd lose your license in the first 10 mins and then what? you walk up to a parked car about to jack it and Niko says "I don't have a license, I better catch a bus"? or is it just a pointles thing where you lose your license and you still drive? cos that sounds a right barrel of laughs...

CookPassBabtridge Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Nah, I think they just added that text for a bit of variety. It would take away from the spirit of the game to have to stick to road rules like that. Plus everybody would be pi$$ed off having to do it if it meant nothing afterwards. Nice work laying out the points system though Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/306169-drivers-licence/#findComment-1057383880 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaverRyan Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It would be useless and pointless, plus it would totally f*ck up gta very simply because driving rampages are part of the very best of gta. So no, it wouldn't be a good idea, but if you think it is, you could always pretend you know, use your imagination, and a little role play?

phs1234 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Adding laws and fines for driving is just going to detract from the concepts that made GTA what it is today - a fun, driving sim that keeps the excitement high by having very lenient rules.

NoSkillz187 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yea, lets get a driver's license for the car we just JACKED... A license wouldn't make sense in GTA, in a game where we jack cars all the time. If you want to throw traffic laws in, then they might as well have the person you jacked the car from, report the car stolen. Cause its unrealistic, for a person not to report his stolen car, m i rite? You guys make me laugh with this super realitic stuff. It aint gonna happen.

Magic_Al Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 At the very most driver's license points could be part of your stats but I seriously doubt there would be anything in gameplay about it.

ryuclan Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Let's just all go the speed limit, in a game that let's you break all the rules. OK lol It would be impossible to complete the game with a license. And how would they deduct points anyway. Dont they have to know who's driving. Nobody's going to pull over and the license plate mean nothing. To Ceedot: Is that quote in your sig real. Wow, thats sad.

fishermanGTA Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Let's just all go the speed limit, in a game that let's you break all the rules. OK I don't see your point. Well thats not true, I do, and I am right on board with you, but wouldn't a game with rules like driving laws make it more fun for you to break them? I mean you are a criminal right? To willgtavcs: What does that have to do with a drivers licence? Police AI and drivers licence have nothing to do with each other. I like the bit about double tapping R3 twice to surrender though.

WaZzaR Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Well i think that if there was to be a driving licence, that they shouldn't have points but if they see you speeding or driving mad, they should pull you over and give you a fine. but if the car was stolen then you should go to jail. but who said you have to stop... why not get a poilce chase on the go, try and outrun them!

Jew4Life Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 that would be odd...i mean if you speed a bit (unlike real driving, pressing 'up' in GTA gives full gas) you get some fine or w/e? unrealistic in the final conclusion Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/306169-drivers-licence/#findComment-1057394219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceedot Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Illegal immigrants cant get drivers licenses. New York law maybe he has a green card? how do you know he is illegal? He came on a ship, the 'Platypus'(good reference to Australia, seeing as they are only found in Eastern Australia. Maybe hinting the next title to hit down under? I can only hope). It's more likely he came on a boat illegally, than legally.

Or maybe they are in a secluded area. Could be anything. We can tell for sure he came on a boat, because that's the first time Roman see's him. Niko has never been in LC, so he couldn't just get off a plane and drive somewhere. Could he?
