Convoy rules update


Recommended Posts

Suggestion Name: Convoy rules update

 

Suggestion Description:

I have noticed that the topic of convoy management is discussed insufficiently in the TruckersMP rules.

I therefore suggest to upgrade and supplement the corresponding paragraphs of the rules by the following information.

 

Definition of the term "convoy":

The term "convoy" describes a group of at least six (6) vehicles,  excluding escort vehicle(s).

 

Convoy assembly:

A convoy consists of a head (first vehicle of a convoy), a trail (last vehicle of a convoy) and a main body (all vehicles between the head and the trail).

 

Escort vehicles:

A convoy must use at least one escort vehicle in the front (head) and one escort vehicle in the back (trail).

Convoys with more than twelve (12) vehicles may use one or more escort vehicles in the middle of the main body for improved convoy control.

 

Every escort vehicle must use the pilot scheme paint job for easy identification.

 

Safety:

Every vehicle of a convoy and every escort vehicle must use its headlights turned on for the entire duration of the convoy.

 

The maximum speed of a convoy must not exceed 50 mph / 80 kph.

 

Any example images: n/a

 

Why should it be added?:

Improve the road traffic safety for all road traffic participants and convoy members.

Hey, thank you for your suggestion @blabberbeak

 

In our recent rules update of July 30, we have reworked rule §2.6 to reflect better what we consider a convoy and which areas can or cannot be accessed by convoys. To keep things simple and comprehensible, convoys are solely defined as more than 5 players driving together; how convoys are assembled and the other mentioned criteria are up to players themselves to decide. We do not wish to restrict people from driving with each other, but at times that the following areas are highly populated (+25 players in the area), it is prohibited to take convoys into the Kirkenes quarry (ProMods), the road between Duisburg and Calais, and to the cities of Calais and Duisburg. Other than that, there are no restrictions.

 

Your suggestion is therefore partly accepted.
