Zig-zag driving [questions]

[AA™| joruss]

Zig zagging move in order to lose someone trying to catch a draft is regulated by our racing rules and it is not allowed. Any limad3 or higher has the ability to issue any penalty he sees fit. In most cases, a warning and a DT will do just fine. An admin is not obligated to do any actions on our servers. He should, however, intervene if the racers are not able to figure things out on their own and demand justice.

Let me play the devil's advocate on that.
If you zigzag to break the tow and your opponent is not in your direct proximity this falls into the first part of rule O-5:
"Ahead drivers have the right to choose any line down a straight."

The second part of the rule says:
"The ahead driver may make one move to block the opposing car, and one move to return to the racing line before the next corner - Unless the opposing car has overlap."

IMO this rule should be interpreted exactly this way - if you move across to break the tow - fair play, if you move across to actively block someone making an overtake - that's a no-no unless you do it once right before the next corner and being still ahead.

The judgement should be (and in, for example, F1 is) based on who moved first. If someone is behind you and you move first - it's ok, but if someone is going to start overtaking and you, seeing that, move - that's not ok.
