You can see on your map, there's queuing, yet you accelerate into a turn you can't see completely. Then you barely avoid colliding with another user. The result is not you asking yourself what you could do differently (which already has been suggested here: drive slower), but you go and point fingers. And to put the icing on the cake, you now want to change the game, so you don't have to change your misbehavior. This is honestly pretty entertaining, please go ahead....

Oh yeah. Absolutely amazing idea. Let's ban everybody. No more complaints. Problems solved.

If you can't see the road ahead, just slow down. You were accelerating as you approached the turn while having little to no visibility. Now that's reckless driving.

Yeah let's just reduce the speed limit to the point the road gets boring enough so everyone migrates to Klagenfurz-Innsbruck (or Dresden-Hamburg), and then we rinse repeat it there. If you don't like other drivers, then boy SCS got the solution for you. It's called convoy.

oh no, people say mean words on the internet. we must filter that. quick. there's certainly no bypass to spell any slur you want. If you don't want to see or hear slurs. switch off chat and voice chat.

I feel like simply adding trailers without function to the mod will add nothing but eye-candy. Instead Scout trailers should have a function - let people haul cargo with those trailers just like trucks do, except the cargo would be less massive, obviously. If you then still want a horse box trailer, add horses as a cargo and let them be driven from farm to farm or something. We're already putting cattle on car carriers by save editing, so that would make little difference.... And now, please go and ask a vet what it means if your horses are 45% damaged.

People install the new version because they want to play with the new features. People stay with the old versions to play with their favorite mods. They can even play with their friends online using convoy. Long gone are the days when multiplayer-ETS2 and TMP were synonymous. There's a pretty detailed post on this very website telling you how to change the game version in the steam launcher. If you cannot do that on your own, you probably shouldn't mess with that feature anyway, let alone some 3rd party software do that for you.

Absolutely correct - with current traffic patterns that would totally work I thought of that as well, however, when I did browse the library, I didn't find a mirrored version of that asset (would be easiest to implement as it literally takes the same amount of space). That means TMP would have to create and maintain said asset in the long term, at least until base-game France sees a rework. At that point it might just be easier to copypasta a cloverleaf prefab in there. Let's be realistic here - this area of the game isn't really up to current standards anyway, so going cheap and dirty won't even create immersion breaking asset changes.

I like the OP's idea, but I see a problem here: How do you know that a city is full of users, before you connect to the server, i.e. when you already suffer the performance hit? (don't use 3rd party websites, the mod doesn't provide that data to you). Generally, I think that upon connecting you should be able to quicktravel for free to anywhere. Lol what? You do realize that people start new profiles all the time and that low level does not at all equal low skill? And even with zero skill it is totally fine to play on that road as long as you're not acting stupid...

I can't see why adding more paintjobs for that car would be a bad thing.

So if rejoining is as easy as you claim it is, then why don't you disconnect, drive past the "troll" while offline and then reconnect?

That's just incorrect. A kick is associated with a disconnect from the server. You have to go back to the launchpad to reconnect, which includes reloading the game. This takes a few minutes, depending on the performance of your system in use, the server population and the server being selected to join. Log in to Calais/Duisburg and get immediately kicked because the game engine can't handle loading map and traffic at once? Wait 10min. High ping? Congrats, you now gotta wait 10 min to rejoin No headlights? Congrats, you now gotta wait another 10 min. Got kicked while pulling over due to IRL issues, and didn't move for too long? Congrats, wait another 10 min You drive past one of the xxx barriers to pull over and not block traffic, a mod comes along and kicks you for driving out of boundaries? 10 min. Pulled over, your trailer too close to the road, 'cause you wanna change the radio station real quick you're listening to or because you wanna wait a minute to use /fix? 10 min You get hit by oncoming traffic, end up on the road, a mod kick-teleports all vehicles involved to clear up the road? 10 min. Do you realize how many people are going to be fed up with this, just leave and never come back? Take a wild guess when the convoy game mode was released....(and no, steam users at the same time did not decrease)

Nobody wants to move it. I am talking of blocking as in deleting. Left turns should not be possible at that place, as there is literally zero need to. You can simply join the motorway at another exit by taking a right turn further south. We already talked about that here. There is no need to make a left turn here. Add to that, that you are driving with three trailers, something achievable by save editing only and you could not handle it at that intersection because it is too heavy for your engine to accelerate. You should have driven another way, which you refuse to acknowledge. Let's see what the rules say, shall we? 3.0 [...]If you save edit to create a very long trailer combination but cannot safely handle it, you are liable to be banned for reckless driving and/or blocking and it is recommended that you remove the particular modification(s)[...]

You make up a statement of how complicated it would be to remove that left turn there and when I say this has all been done in the past, you call that unprofessional. Erm yeah.

There is no safety in left turns. And you don't need to remove anything. Just add a barrier building to block off the ramp. Job done in 5min. Literally. Then go and edit the config files for the semaphores. Has already been done since they extended the phases of the northern lights and removed the southern lights. Just set the left turn phase to zero. Done.
