Are sim 2 drivers more reckless?

[Iuca]

Since the new sim 2 update I have had alot more clips of poor driving ect. I want to know if you have had the same experience on sim 2 and if you think this is caused by the new speed limit change?

Honestly, my f7 button might wear away at this point, its being used so much more.

I feel like people just need to get used to the higher speed limit. Once people are used to it, they will be able to better judge how much they need to slow down for corners etc.

For me is the same experience whether they drive 110 or 150 

[Devsk1892]

I find people driving the same as on simulation 1 

[Zenn.]

I think it stays the same as on Sim 1. The only thing that has changed is the speed, not the driving style.

Trolls are still in the sim1 server. In sim2 server are reckless drivers.

Greetings,

 

As far as i am aware of, it looks to continue to be the same. A small bunch of **reckless drivers** moved on to Sim 2 but it appears to be as reckless as it used to be.
It was not too many years ago that we got the update to 110, so honestly it came as no surprise that we would see more reckless drivers now.

I assume that Sim 1 what-so-ever remains as we all knows, places where the trolls goes because of the popularity.

I don't think so. Maybe drivers who are not accustomed to driving at 150 kms may be more likely to have an accident.

[Interstate Nomad]

Driving a motor vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.

In terms of Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator, and TruckersMP, this means that every player who operates a vehicle (truck) at an excessive speed (exceeding national speed limits; speeding) and that is considered unsafe is guilty of reckless driving.

Paragraph 2 of TruckersMP's Game-only rules states in this regard that "Speeding, while allowed, is not recommended. Speeding can lead to accidents and can factor in a punishment decision."

Therefore, the recently introduced higher speed limit of 150 km/h will consequently increase the number of players who are guilty of reckless driving.

I don't think sim2 players are more reckless than sim1 players

[[MCG] Justin [GER]]

I would say that they behave the same no matter which server they are on. 

[Yarkoon]

I agree, sim2 players behave inappropriately. Now I watched the admin's stream and it can be seen that there are a huge number of Inadequates there. When the admin streams sim1, there are many times fewer bans issued.

I've tried SIM2 for 10-15min. There were just 300 players on the server. I was on C-D to meet/see some players (obviously).

And since there was much less traffic than SIM1, people were literally racing! Here is an example when I started my trip: https://gofile.io/d/GmXLJd

I was driving normally, respecting speed limits, and people were flying around me at 150km/h overtaking on the right shoulders and grass. Most of them didn't touch me but I still ended up with 3-4 small collisions and 25% damage (I started at 0%). And I saw quite a few crashes (mainly between 2 trucks but some with just one player not able to control his/her truck). Not a pleasant experience.

 

To resume, I don't know if people are more reckless than on SIM1 but with the extra speed people can take (due to less traffic), dangerous situations are becoming even more dangerous. And when these happen you get much bigger damage and potentially people involved.

[Kааn]

I always play in Sim 1, never tried Sim 2.

Sim 1 is more realistic cause of the speed limit. Sim 2 is a bit more arcade than Sim 1, with road rules are applicable. It is just the speed.

 

As I don’t exceed 90 km/h, I always play in Sim 1.

 

Cheers,

Kaan.

the question is how are staff staffing both servers to make it fair for everyone and to complete reports

I guess we already have the answer. It was already difficult to manage reports when there was only 1 server. Now with a 2nd server where people can drive even faster and have more chances to crash and drive recklessly, I don't think it will be any better.

@Bradd, @Foobrother,

 

thank you for putting the inescapable conclusion on the table.

 

I've mentioned it before, but only few seem to understand yet the consequence of an increased speed limit:

an increased number of accidents and eventually an increased number of reports will bring report moderators to their limit again, as it was the case before Road To Simulation.

This will give perpetrators more time to misbehave and makes rule-abiding player suffer longer.

[ilian kamenov]

For me is the same experience whether they drive 110 or 150 

[Aura.]

It doesnt really matter if its Simulation 1 or if it is Simulation 2, you can still encounter reckless people in both cases. Having a different speedlimiter doesnt change the perspective

[Deadstroke69]

Well I dont think so It really matter, sim 2 give more freedome with speed limit, All thing will remain same whether you're playing in Sim 1 or Sim 2.
