Can we have some road etiquette please

No but seriously, why do people insist on blocking the roads in friendly territory during a cap, when there's plenty of room right off the main road, and not any actual targets or threats. I was in a convoy a few days ago, and our entire progress got halted because we couldn't wedge through all of the people waiting for Quartz Ridge to cap, despite the fact that it wasn't even connected to the enemy territory (essentially a whole mess of people showed up to a ghostcap backcap right as we were driving through from the WG).

Anyway, I know this discussion won't actually change anything, but could we maybe enact some sort of "keep the right side of the road clear" rule

PS2 Road Etiquette.

If someone is coming up behind you and sounding their horn, drive your ass into a ditch on the side of the road!

Or would that be considered P2W?

Yeah, sometimes I complain with some outfit members tha they parked the tanks in the middle of the road!
Always be nice and park it in the sides of the roads.
Also, don't park in the middle of a tech plant, this night during the Amerish event, a lighting decided it was ok to park it in the side of the respawning sunderer inside the heyoka tech plant, blocking the passage of like 7 prowlers, including mine, I almost TKed him, but I just rammed his lighting out of the way what it was odd, because I just passed under it and the player realized his lighting shouldn't be there and removed it.

Clearly that is the wrong side of the road.

Well I don't know... Why do people insist on flipping/exploding friendly Galaxies at the warpgate?

Why do friendly ATV's run me over when I'm hoofing it through the middle of the freaking desert?

We may never have the answers to these mysteries of the universe.

Right of way is based on tonnage in PS2.

No need for any other rules

It isn't a true convoy if half the lightnings/flashes are still alive when you reach your destination.

You also need at least one tag along Zergling to be blasting Creedence Clearwater Revival over Prox Comms. Although when this happened the guy had GREAT throughput, and it came in really crisp and clear, so nobody complained. Still got Bad Moon Rising stuck in my head.

Don't go round tonight, well it's bound to take your life.....
