Playing Ingress while driving TOS never enforced?

For two weeks I now report an agent who is almost daily playing Ingress while driving car. Its obvious from watching the Intel mapo, I have seen him personally two times being alone in car, I even talked with him once but he pretendet to play stupid. But nothing ever changes, I get the report reply telling "we got, we may do something" - but nothing ever happens.


Last month a serious accident happened not far from where I live due to (other) agents playing ingress while driving, including injured children. Why does NIA not take any action on this dangerous behaviour.

  • Please, don't take cargress seriously. Ignore them!

    Although we'd love to see shenanigans like this penalty flagged, it's just not going to happen.

    Be satisfied that you know who the problem player is and can share with your troupe the level of problem player you're dealing with.

  • I just looked up "cargressing" here too see what can be done about a particular player violating the rules except reporting, and there i see you Maewnam. I know who you're talking about... its really annoying and dangerous. Just makes me tired of the game really.

    I just looked at Niantic's Terms of Service and the Agent Protocol for Ingress and I don't see anything about playing while driving in either of those documents. Could you link to the document you're quoting?

  • As with any mobile app, our games should not be used while driving a vehicle.

    Section Two, Niantic Player Guidelines.

    And because I know your usual claim that this doesn't apply:

    Please read these Niantic Terms of Service and any applicable App guidelines (the Guidelines and, collectively, the “Terms”), because the Terms govern your use of such Apps.

    Section 1, Niantic Terms of Service

    @Perringaiden Thanks. But... my usual claim?

  • "Guidelines isn't the Terms of Service so you don't have to pay attention to it"

    And yet, that is the situation. They don't even need to have stated the rule to ban you. And then you go and argue with me on post where I'm asking them to make it all clearer...

    This is something niantic cant do much on, not their responsibility really.. it says clearly when u start ingress dont do it.

    How do you plan on proving the driver is both playing and driving simultaneously (not just driving to each destination) and it isn't the passenger of a car, without taking a photo of them which is a bannable offence.
