The greatest gift was to meet with the whole family and enjoy the cosy Christmas dinner.

High populated areas are part of everyday traffic. I keep calm and continue to respect other drivers and all traffic regulations.

Naturally, the message on screen should be temporary to avoid blocking the view. But a small red square in the corner of the screen could be used as a permanent indicator of a high-populated area, respectively a green square or not showing anything at all in areas with less than 25 players.

I agree to your suggestion. A temporary on-screen warning that states the beginning of a high populated area is more safe than counting the amount of players in the TAB menu or on the GPS screen.

The past has shown that players prefer to play on the server with the most players. Opening a new server with exclusive requirements to join will likely reduce the amount of trolling and toxicity, because ... there will hardly anybody around to troll or to play with.

The TruckersMP rules require every player to respect national road traffic regulations, and the road between Duisburg and Calais is covered by road traffic regulations of multiple countries. In Germany, for example, it is prohibited to stop in a steep curve. It also defines stopping for longer than 3 minutes as parking. Your suggestion therefore might already be covered by the TruckersMP rules. It is in general a good idea, not to stop in any place that is dangerous for you or and/ or blocks the view of other drivers.

I support your suggestion, as it would increase realism.

Different players strive for different things. In TruckersMP, some prefer to drive realistic, others prefer to drive at excessive speed, and then others prefer to drive back and forth the same road all day long, and so on. It would be nice, if we could agree on that and respect each other's opinion and decision.

This is a useful addition to the simulator.

Don't text and drive. Independent of the used peripheral device.

Maybe one should consider the possibility of letting go of things one does not have control over. One will not make others change their driving behavior by enforcing stricter speed limits. Instead, one can follow the speed limits and lead by example.

Not everyone enjoys reckless driving or accidents. For some, the fun comes from teamwork, coordination, and the community spirit of driving together across long distances. By respecting the rules, you make the game more enjoyable for those who prefer an authentic experience. Driving carefully teaches you to master different types of trucks, handle tough routes, and manage your vehicle in challenging situations like rain, night driving, or tight parking. Reckless driving might give you a temporary adrenaline rush, but playing carefully develops long-term skills.

Good idea! This suggestion could motivate VTC owners to stay active and maintain their company’s presence, adding vitality to the community.

Would it not be more effective to work with pictograms instead of written languages?
