Are you someone who overtakes easily or do you have patience to stay behind other truck drivers in the game?

[ROMANISTA [ITA]]

Hello! 

 

Are you someone who overtakes easily or do you have patience to stay behind other truck drivers in the game?

 

I know that sometimes it is not easy to remain patient but I prefer not to overtake, especially if I risk making accidents . 

 

Thank you all for answers.

I am generally fine sticking behind people doing as slow as 50km/h, it isn't worth the possibility of getting a ban just to save a few seconds if any time at all

Same here, I always prefer to not overtake trucks, even if they are driving slow

[Donii.]

It seems the majority opinion so far is to sit behind someone rather than overtaking, so here I am announcing being the "overtaker"! 

 

My VTC is highly competitive with miles and fighting for #1 on the monthly leaderboards is a challenge so I will always await a safe location to overtake anyone driving slower than 61mph.

[PinkFoxes]

Let me talk about my point of view, I think I will only carry out overtaking behavior if I think I can overtake the premise, otherwise I will not take the move to overtake, I also agree with the other players above, overtaking can not pass still overtake, it does run the risk of being banned. So in summary, I will only overtake if I 100% think I can pass, otherwise I will follow the car in front and keep driving until I reach the overtaking standard.

Yeah!!!, I Love speed but only overtake when is clear to do so ...

and am very Patient... 

I wait for drivers that miss the lane or crash.

Drivers who make a wrong turn, or got stuck

I don't horn at them I allow them to take their time ...

when u horn at someone or continue Horning u make them desperate... 

I don't like that... I rather assist them if they are finding it difficult

  through Chat or CB Radio  

 

am a very Patient Guy...

 

funny when drivers say I don't go above 50km.. or 70km.. trying to simulate Real Life 

News Flash!!!... Drivers don't drive that slow.. only when they are in cities 

they carry the most expensive items so truck drivers speed a lot on highways not to get mugged

Hello trucker. 

It all depends on the situation, if I see that I can do the pass safely, I do it, if I don't keep it behind the vehicle in front. 

[The Englishman]

I'm perfectly happy to drive at my own 56mph (90km/h) pace either behind somoene or if somoene is in front of me.  People are fine to overtake me too just as long as they're respectable and safe whilst doing so. (Blasting the horn and flashing me 25 times isn't going to do anything)

[Dawn - Da Peng]

When the car in front of me is still driving slowly on a busy road, I will choose you to follow him and not go back to overtake. Generally, I will not choose to overtake when there are more than 10 cars near me.

When I meet a slow-moving player on the highway, I will choose a safe section to pass him in the fast lane.

[Foobrother]

I know that some people driving on C-D have the complete opposite opinion but when I'm driving on a busy twisty road I tend to go on the safe side and stay behind (like in real life) and if I'm on the motorway I can overtake when the person is much slower than me (but it's rare ).

Hello truckers,

 

I'm a patient person. I'm doing 90 km/h on cruise control and I'm enjoying the ride. I always say slower is actually faster. I see it almost every time I drive, when a driver who is on cruise control at 110 km/h tries to overtake me, he forces me and oncoming drivers to make room for him. Most of the time I manage to make enough room for him, so he continues to drive dangerously and after a few corners I see him lying on his side. If he somehow manages to make it to a town, I'm always a few cars behind him and I haven't endangered anyone while he has endangered several drivers.

 

It is completely pointless to overtake unless the driver you want to overtake is going 30 km/h all the way.

[Guest]

I always go the speed limit or 20+ but never over 90km/h. I enjoy the game this way. As a player who runs the calais<-> duisburg relentlessly i can say i do not ever pass unless someone is stopped from crashing. However the amount of people who pass me and run me off the road on purpose or cause a crash elsewhere is endless. There is also the people who will try to tailgate you going the speed limit and then get mad and blame you when you need to slow down or stop and they crash into you. You should always try to keep a truck length or twice between you and the person in front of you depending on speed. The people who cause said issues may not be heard or seen here but if you don't believe me take the challenge and go the speed limit and watch what happens..

[Deadwilk]

I am just following the guy infront of me but if he is too slow after i checked the map i would try to overtake him.

[NoahTheGamer]

i wait patiently as you never know if there its another truck coming and because other players coming could be lagging best to stay patient and not risk getting banned for colliding just my opinion 

[Myriαnnα]

I never overtake, I prefer to remain patient by giving distance behind the person in front of me, whether very slowly or not.

[Chema9]

If the situation allows it, I overtake drivers (as long as I don't endanger others), It's part of driving and i like to do it.

[realjustin]

I always have a safe distance between me and the car in front. You never know if he does not make a full braking from now on, so always keep your distance!

 

If I overtake, then only if I am quite sure that the air in the oncoming traffic is pure.

[3749771]

I do not overtake while driving. I never foolishly overtake to save a few seconds. Be patient and drive realistically.

[MOCKlNGBlRD]

I rarely overtake someone. We don’t need to be impatient. 

[Guest]

It depends

[!drkYVZ]

I am patient so I don't overtake easily.

[quack_]

It is always the people that have high ping that are impatient and overtake only to lag into the person they are overtaking and cause an accident. Me personally, I'd never overtake because part of the game is traffic first of all so just getting to your destination with no hiccups at all feels too boring and repetitive and second of all, my ping isn't the best as I reside in Australia so I don't want to be one of those people to cause an accident overtaking.

I do not overtake while driving. Why? Your decision not to overtake while driving and your willingness to stick behind others reflect a cautious and considerate approach on the road. This attitude shows that you prioritize safety and respect the speed and comfort levels of other drivers. By maintaining a steady pace and allowing others to overtake when it's safe and appropriate, you contribute to a smoother traffic flow and minimize the risk of accidents.

Sticking behind other drivers can have several advantages. Firstly, it allows you to maintain a consistent and predictable position on the road. This can be particularly beneficial in situations where visibility is limited, such as during adverse weather conditions or in heavy traffic. By giving yourself ample space behind the vehicle in front of you, you create a buffer zone that provides additional reaction time and reduces the chances of a collision.

[blabberbeak]

I stay in my lane.

First of all, Hello!

 

I act according to the condition of the road, if the road is suitable, I do my overtaking carefully so as not to harm anyone. But if the road is not suitable, I will never overtake.

 

Best regards
