immortal766 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Does this ever happen to you, when someone is overtaking you in a tight corner and in a bid to save your trailer from having any damage you sometimes steer towards the edge of the road and hit the barrier and that momentary action destabilizes you and you veer from left to right for a minute or two because of the actions of the dangerous driver? Here's my experience, please share yours if it has ever happened to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synplex Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm always taking corners that little bit wider, some drivers do tend to cut it a little close. I mean, I get there are technically two lanes here, but one is for me mkay buddy If someone has helped you, be sure to give them rep ^ .:: Report a player | Appeal a ban | Forum rules | In-game rules ::.

stilldre1976 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 is that just lag from recording or does it play like that on your system ?couldnt handle that tbh no wonder he went round you lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John [RO] Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yes, happend to me too. In mu experience, it happens more offten with playes using a keyboard/mouse to drive. When using a steering wheel, it's alot smoother and you can actually stay in your lane with milimetric precision. When using the keys on the keyboard to steer the truck, you make small corrections to your steering, making the truck appear to go in this small zigzag motion. Now, when you see this in your rearview mirror, you want to give the guy as much space as possible, so he wown't hit you. You do end up paying more attention to what the fellow next to you is doing and loose sight of the incoming barrier. As with your case , lag sometimes "helps you" into the barrier, or freezes one of the players in place, canceling your evasion actions. Best course of action - slow down , you have more control of what's happening arround you the slower you go.

By all standards, it's wrong@ John_Stobart, I wasn't driving fast. I was below the speed limit for the road because of the sharp bends and also I had a J-Spec engine on my truck that's why my acceleration was not as quick as their's.

Guest aLd1X Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 How can u play with that lag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco6158 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Well, people overtook you because you lag a lot. Indeed the guy overtook you in a wrong spot and without taking care of anything else, but you should've slowed down too. Anyway it happened to me once, but I lost control and went out of the road.

FirestarteR93 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 How can u play with that lag? Meh, the lag is thanks to the recording software - When you don't record, the game behaves better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Whenever I see another truck oncoming I always scoot over a little bit, regardless if it's a straight or a corner. Had too many things happen at this point that it's ingrained in my brain, I do the same if I see someone wanting to overtake me, I move over to the side a little bit to encourage them to overtake safely.

TRUCK NINJA BREAD Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Plenty of times...! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFJA6oBy0wQ I usually try not to overcorrect unless i really cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John [RO] Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Seems that too many drivers out there don't estimate the lenght of the truck as they should and come back in your lane right there in front of you, with maybe 2m left between his back and your nose.

Synplex Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 ^Once someone has started their overtake I slow it down down a good 10km/h because of this reason. It's not usually a slow peaceful merge either, it's like a "full lock and I'm in" merge If someone has helped you, be sure to give them rep ^ .:: Report a player | Appeal a ban | Forum rules | In-game rules ::.

immortal766 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Here's another clip of Dangerous overtaking, recorded this yesterday. Not having a go at anybody but some players with the RO tag seem to be quite reckless in their driving. Happy Trucking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John [RO] Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I agree, some players seem to be quite reckless in their driving, regardless of their tag, nationality, color or age. In my case , anyone aproaching me is a suspect . Except those very few exceptions of players who see you go 50km/h in a 50km/h zone, stay behind you, keep their distance, follow you for half your journey and end up adding you as their friend on Steam.

Seen alot with all respect most drivers from Asia or China being reckless. And Turks without trying to generalise. Russians seems to be favored too.

DannyUK Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That is some lag in the video. When I get people like that overtaking me I usually just slow down, there is no stopping them unfortunately, they will just barge through regardless of damage. They shouldn't be overtaking anyway, not on a bend and certainly not over double lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactivePotato Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Some people just try to go as fast as they can when someone is overtaking.... SLOW DOWN when someone is overtaking you... Bruh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaffewE Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yes, I tend to get this problem. I tend to drive on corners closer to the middle (leaves a wider distance to the barrier) but it also tends to put people off from overtaking, I do move over a bit if there is someone on the opposite side but if not I'm taking that room up haha Kind regards, Matthew § Need help? ~ Report bad driving ~ Forum & In-Game Rules ~ Feedback ~ Guides ~ Appeal a ban! § Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbass Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If I see someone on minimap, I push the quick save button. If that truck hits me, I could come back to last save. I think you can use that. Quick save is usefull . If you want to report him, you can use Overwolf's "Replay HUD" .

Simulator Experiencer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 A good tip is if you see any one behind you pull over on the side because the user right behind you 100% will trash your truck . its very simple not hard to do just like saying slow down on country roads its not hard to slow down at least yea maybe its slow but it is a simulation game so please do respect the game . and enjoy it. gt15 ect.... speed all you want ect... on ets2mp its more different.

Guest Tygrys330 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If you have a blind corner then don't overtake. People on the outside of the corner can go faster, then form the people inside of the corner. On the autobahn you would normally overtake on the inside lanes, then again their are times where you have to go on the outside lanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
