📋 About This Mod
As of writing this (15 Oct 2023), the original mod author hasn't logged in since 07 Feb 2023 and hasn't updated Drive Carefully since 27 Sep 2022. This mod is a replacement for their original mod. This mod works with v2. 0+ of Cyberpunk 2077 and works with Mod Settings.
----------------------------------
Drive Carefully!
----------------------------------
Ever wonder why other drivers don't seem to care too much if you bump, scratch or ram their vehicle while driving? Who pays for the damages?
That's no longer the case thanks to the NCID (Night City Insurance Department). Like everyone else, you were automatically enrolled in their instant claims scheme as soon as you got your driver's license.
----------------------------------------------------
What does this mod do?
----------------------------------------------------
With this mod, if you collide with another vehicle in traffic the cost of damages will be automatically deducted from your bank account. A head-on collision will demand a higher payment than a small bump on the rear. Fortunately, costs are relatively small (typically under €$100 except for big hits) but can be increased through Mod Settings. It's also possible to disable to displayed messages for those who find them bothersome.
Parked, unoccupied vehicles are not eligible for insurance claims - neither are those who's driver has been incapacitated.
