Difficult Decisions, High Rewards

Today I had one of the most difficult drives on ETS2 that I have ever faced to date as I drove from Katowice in Poland to Dover via the Calais ferry crossing, carrying a consignment of glass panels in a high-cabin MAN truck. As I joined the A45 motorway coming from Dresden things started to get volatile as two truck drivers were blocking but I sat there patiently until traffic started to move again, during that time there was music played on CB as well as car drivers trying to aggravate the situation. 

I was caught up again in another hostile situation at the A4/A61 junction on the Liege motorway, as I kept my distance from a truck driver in front who was lagging and jittering backwards, another driver (who joined from the A61) rammed the truck that was in front of me, sending the perpetrator flying above my cab, but I suffered no damage, followed almost instantly by a car who flipped over blocking two lanes of traffic. Remarkably I stayed quite calm through the whole confrontation. 

Things then started calming down as soon as I passed Liege and the journey past Lille was relatively smooth with no issues, but as I turned off to bypass the C-D junction I turned too wide and took 1% damage on the truck. Got to the Calais junction and didn't need to slow down a single kilometre, while there were not too many issues on my end reaching Calais. 

As soon as I got to my depot to unload at Dover, I met a forum user that I know of (and btw it is the first time that I have actually spotted a fellow veteran driver), @Rev. while I experienced some small difficulties trying to get in. 

Following this experience, I am going to take a break from driving in high-population regions and I will take a trailer to a more quieter city.
