dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Whenever I drive CD road, which I rarely do, I always drive max speed with the exception of around corners because I use realistic stability settings so I have to slow to 60-70 for them. I kept with the flow of traffic which everyone drives a ridiculous speed and all the realistic players know that. I figured I would try limiting myself to 80 km/h. I feel for those people that strictly go the speed limit on CD road because it can be frustrating, which on a lot of the road is only 60 km/h. Of course there's constant overtakes and every overtake there's a chance you will be flipped over. I went through it twice like this and I got flipped over once both times I went through by stupid reckless drivers/overtakers. One of those there were 2 people overtaking at the same time on both sides of the road and there's pretty much no way to avoid that. 80 km/h is not enough for them, or even 90 wouldn't be enough for some people. However at the same time, going only 80 km/h actually might have saved me from a few crashes because I have more reaction and braking time (since I also use realistic braking sensitivity I can't just stop instantly) and for example if someone is overtaking and there's oncoming traffic I can move to the right as far as I can move more safely and avoid crashing, didn't work every time though. I know TMP likely doesn't plan on doing this but I wish there was a 90 km/h speed limiter on just CD road, although people will probably just find a different road if that happens.

NexusMEISTER Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Yeah, I was thinking of the 80-90 km/h speed limit too. And you are totally right when you say that driving slowly can save you from accidents. I usually drive on C-D when I have a job around it and drive pretty fast except around corners. 90% of the accidents that I encountered in the last years on TMP were on the C-D road. But ultimately, it's every player's responsibility how they handle their vehicle so after I almost got "pancaked" by 3 trucks on C-D 2 weeks ago :)), I'll have to avoid this road for no further incidents. I'm not bothered by the normal speed limit on C-D but 90 km/h limiter would be a nice idea.

I wish more players would drive more defensively, namely, consider local speed limits and practise mutual consideration. But as long as players can mess around with stability settings and set them to unrealistic values, respectively make themselves billionaires by cheating their money account in their profiles, there is no reason for them to worry. It's a drawback which goes directly against the idea of Road To Simulation and shouldn't be possible on simulation servers. Drive safely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"RICKY" Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's not easy on this road, not to mention you can take it with a noob.But a piece of advice make your trip calm and safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i mean Obviously. The surrounding roads which are kinda busy are highways and the rest of the map is empty.

The C-D road doesn't need another speed limit to become safer, and for that matter the game doesn't need a speed limit. What it does need is a server-side economy so players will hurt every time they visit the repair shop. I honestly believe that a server-side economy would revamp the game as we now know it.

Franze P. Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I don't think it's possible. CD road has always been a congested area. It is unlikely to reach a relatively high speed. Unless if safe to overtake or when there are few people in the server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Back when I didn't hate that road (or to be fairer, the "Idiots on that road"), I'd drive following strictly the speed limits. 80, 60 or 50 depending on the road signage. I'd be very alert to stop or swerve right if needed and the only problems I used to have were those NFS fans rear-ending my trailer because it's hard to go from 150 Km/h to 50 in a curvy road... Yes, I said 150. You can imagine how long it's been since I last drove on that road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
