That's an advantage over other players Ethan.

I was thinking that we could tie in another suggestion (forgot the topic exactly) the speedcamera "film". It runs out, you have to maintain it, or it'll break. Perhaps if the speedcamera is broken it'll fine you more or somethin ;)
Maybe like Its HDD gets filled after certain amount of time and need to be changed in order to maintain records of players getting fined ! Nice Dobby  :like:

How u damage a speedcam? Vandalism, crash or like thiefs that have to break it?
perhaps
spawn as thief ("bad guy image here")
/vip object> crowbar> stand in red circle> message "speedcamera has been disabled" (must be VIP to get crowbar object) or X loads)maybe, maybe not)
[utility van worker] (like police radio) "speedcamera at rockshore west has been disabled, please repair(or some other kind of notification))"
[police] "xx name" is now wanted for vandalizing a speedcam
Well Nice Idea and suggestion from other are making/improving it more and more. I like the thief part but every thief is'int a VIP so u need to do something for it otherwise nice !! :like:

Or make it so that ppl can damage speedcamera's. And mechanics with utility van need to fix it.
But ofcourse damaging speedcamera's is only possible when there is a mechanic around.
I like this :like: gives more player interaction with the speedcamera's that don't do much besides give players fines.

Could be an interesting mission type. You could also make it "haul utility supplies from A to B" in which a utility trailer spawns, you attach it, and haul to destination...kind of like tow missions. Or you could repair items like people said. You must be on foot, walk into the red mission halo and do /repair. A text draw pops up showing % complete, kind of like fixing cars.

Ahh what about fixing speed traps too?  Although they won't be broken obviously since truckers will get unnecessary advantage of that. Instead it will be just broken for the player who is doing machnic class aka utility trailer class? Coz speed traps are all over the CT and they need repair too!
That wouldn't work, players would be parking their vehicle in the middle of the road to fix a speedtrap, or they would be on foot on the road fixing it, either way it could cause accidents
Well,i don't think so,when a player gets to fix a "x" object in the middle of the road it wouldn't take him more then like 5-10 seconds to fix it then he will lead to the next object he has to repair,so that isn't a big problem,what you told you is far from ramming,or breaking the rules,yes if he stays there just to block the road then he can get punished for that,but only for doing his job,nah.And about the other players,they have to notice him and slow down and pass him,it's not a big deal.

It says that 2 minds think better than one, but what about of a full comunity. You are genius guys and here are such a lot of good ideas. Good Job!
I think that the problem with the utility van placed in the middle of the road is something that would not be such a big problem, becouse in time it will become an "unwrite" rule so playes will not stay with the car in the middle of the road ( of course we are talking here about the players which play for fun and not the others which play just to be one the best ) . So this way the vehicles in the middle of the road will be such common as ramming is. + while maintannace, player could write his position in chat so the others will slow down when are close to him.
What do you say about missions in the airport too, like change the light from the main track?

I just drove the Van and the top speed of a utility van + trailer is 50kph and you need the whole south side of julius thruway to get from 40 kph to 50 kph.
Ergo a better reason for having a trailer to give you more money :D

You must be mistaken if you think every player will park on the side of the road, people want to get it done fast, they will be parking as close as possible, then people driving along not paying much attention and drive into the player/their vehicle, possibly making the trucker lose their mission. It's just a recipe for disaster, and would create unrequired moderating (as you know there isn't always an admin/mod online) and it would be pretty foolish to punish someone for leaving a vehicle in the middle of the road.
Someone who leaves a vehicle in the middle of the road when they are using it at present regardless of I vehicle or not is blocking
