What do you think should be the right speed limit to use in the game?

Hello, What do you think should be the right speed limit to use in the game? specify the reason of your answer. Thanks, bye.

I think it's 120 km/h because the speed limit for all trucks is 120 km/h.

[_The Witcher_]

I think the limits are just fine they way they’re set up.

If a modification was to be done, I’d set up 100km/h even if trucks are limited to 120km/h as said above, on simulation servers

[FernandoCR [ESP]]

There's no country in Europe's game map (including map expansion DLC) that allows trucks to go faster than 110 Km/h, so the current limits are perfectly fine. If any changes were to be done, I'd go for limiting the top speed for trucks at 90 Km/h because that's the actual regulation for them in the EU, which covers most of the ETS2 map.

The Correct Speed Limit is the Speed you were able to handle your Truck safely, within the Rules and Local Circumstances, without endangering other People around you! Unfortunately some Players are not able to handle their Truck proper and safely with 6 kph, so......it will turn into another of numerous Discussions about 250 kph vs. 90 kph!

In the game I feel very satisfied with 110km
Actually on the highway you can run 120km
When you get off the highway you can only run 90km
You can see why Wordofftruck allows you to run only 90km

[Peeters Pyatrow]

We don’t need a speed limit in my opinion. It is a simulation game and we should be able to drive our trucks with no speed limit.

This is a regularly returning and controversial discussed topic.

Does is exist at all, a "right" speed limit in the meaning of satisfying all or at least the majority of players?

 

What would happen if the server speed limit would be increased to 250 km/h?

Players who prefer to drive at realistic speeds wouldn't experience any restrictions, because they'd drive way slower in most cases.

And players who prefer to drive at higher speeds could indulge in it.
It'd however entail the risk of an increased number of road incidents, caused by drivers who loose control of their vehicle by driving at high speeds.

 

And what would happen if it'd be decreased to 90 km/h?

Still, players who prefer to drive at realistic speeds wouldn't experience any restrictions in most cases.

But players who prefer to drive at higher speeds would experience a strong restriction.

 

The simulation server speed limit of 110 km/h is considered to be the "middle way" and serves best both, players who like to drive faster and players who like to drive slower.

It doesn't make it the "right" speed limit for everybody, but a compromise both sides can deal with.

@Peeters Pyatrow

That's contradictory.

 

To simulate real life the trucks should be limited to 90. So it should be 90. 

 

@kayabasi_75it is 90 not 120. 

 

Plus imagine the stratospheric fuel usage doing 120. 

[happymeso]

I really don't mind. I will always drive as fast as the road allows, so 80-90. We could argue about simulation and arcade but at the end of the day it is how you play it.
It was fun back then when mostly everyone flew by me at 150kmh... even with stability at max they'd flip and have accidents quite often. Good videos came out thanks to them.

[Lime.]

Choose a speed that you feel safe with. For me, I stick to 90km/h. There really isn't any need to go faster than this. In the real world, European trucks are limited to this speed anyway.

[wyn]

Hello,

Thanks for opening this topic,

I think 90 speed is ideal, sometimes driving with 60 and creating traffic from the truck behind it can negatively affect the game. I think the most ideal and safe driving is 90km/h.

Thanks. 

[Somehow Lucky]

The speed limit is how well you can handle your vehicle and can brake in time for sharp corners/street turns. If you don't want to be rec and banned for reckless driving, i would start by just driving in Single Player. After that, you can test on MP.

[blabberbeak]

For me, the "right" speed limit is the speed

• which I consider as safe for me, my truck and my cargo, AND
• which takes into account national safety regulations and road traffic rules.

[Flyzix]

I think we have to stay on the realistic side so I would say that 100km/h would be the right speed because a truck goes at 90km/h and we should leave a 10km/h margin

[Sade.]

Glad to see "Dark_Boy_" Your valuable questions，whe ther in reality or in games, the problem of speed limit has always been judged by the comparison of reality，however, the speed limit in the game may make people feel more compact, which leads to the discussion of this topic. Although I am just an ordinary driver, I think there must be official reasons for the official decision, so I don't think there is much discussion on this topic

[HENGYA]

In fact, 90 km/h is the normal speed, if on the highway please 110km/h

[[CQF] Qian Xia]

Somewhere between 80 and 100.

I understand what you mean. I'm glad to hear from you

[beccaEP[NZ]]

High limit, with speed cams and admins. Before you could drive 150kmh on servers

[NoahTheGamer]

if everyone is picky about speed limits lets make them realistic for each country the autobahn has no speed limit where as my country trucks are governed at 60mph so they should make all the countrties correct speed limit for trucks in the usa its 65mph

If you want to introduce realistic speed limits, you should first get the facts right.

 

First of all, it's an untrue myth that the german Autobahn has no speed limit.

The Autobahn has a recommended (non-binding) speed limit of 130 km/h (80mph) for passenger cars (Source)

As of January 2019, only 57 percent of the "Autobahn" had no speed limit, 30 percent had a speed limit and 13 percent had a temporary speed limit.

(Source)

 

Note that the above speed limits on the Autobahn don't apply to trucks.

The maximum speed limit on the Autobahn for trucks is 80 km/h (50mph) (Source)

I believe they're fine the way they are on simulation servers. I often do WoT contracts that limit me to 90 kph, and some other players are super impatient and dangerous at 110 kph. Can't imagine what it would be if they could go faster.

[Sydney.]

100km/h,Because that's what my area says.
