Do a driving test before downloading the mod

[JAKEBAB]

Needs to be a thing, so sick of being in the middle lane because there is a overpass coming up and some idiot UNDERtakes me then rams into me once he realizes he's going on to the off ramp, like seriously if you don't know the difference between undertaking and overtaking and which one is legal you should not be aloud to play mp! It's not that hard to get on the left side of me instead of the right! there's 3 f**king lanes!

[whiskeyo]

I have to admit, that it'd make the thing much better than it is now. Players just come to MP to drive around and relax and big part of 'ordinary' players know at least 80% of rules, but on the other hand, a lot of younger people have no idea about rules and they drive as it was Need For Speed. I know that they can check answers online, but it will give them some basic information, so they'll know just a bit - better than nothing

[Mossarelli]

Rolling on floor laughing, the game is even worse now.

 

Half the fun of the game is watching people failing at playing the game.

Maybe a driving licence to get on a more realistic server but lets remember this is a game...... if it was a simulator we would be jumping out of the cab checking our trailers are coupled...... raising/lower the landing legs...... connecting the suzies....... pulling away with the trailer brake on after reversing under the trailer to make sure the pin is in..... putting any ADR notices on the front of the units...... being restricted to the "real" WTD...... receiving tachograph fines......... speeding gets a fine and points! (what do we do when we totted up to a ban? Do we leave the game for 3 or for years?)   lets not forget that this same is 15% real simulator!

When people want to play a mod they would like to play a mod, they don't really want to be spending time to do a test... when people play simulator like this they have a basic knowledge of theory within driving so road markings and sign are familiar. The only people that do not know this sort of things is people that want to come on to troll/annoy people!

 

But good suggestion overall just dont think it would be suitable for this community!

[TheVitoszPl]

+1 Very good

 

It would prevent from people trolling,blocking,ramming and lots more and if you got below 5 you csnt get the mod that would be fantastic,It would also save a lot of time and jobs to the admins.

[SgtBreadStick]

+1 and -1 the test is great but also the bad thing is that in the forum post it has answers also the answers should be at the end of the test just giving you a little tip

-1, I know where you are coming from with trying to make the servers better by having players that can drive, however, I find the most of the players in ETS and ATS MP can drive but drive horribly for their own entertainment and to troll other people. Also, With regards the road signs, we would have to do one for every country because all (I think) the road signs are different dependant on what country you are in. And here's the one that bothers me a bit, Some people who play TMP dont actually drive IRL which in short means that they would not know what some of the road signs meant. (Also, Quite a lot of people don't read the road signs.

[tfmpillow]

I really like that idea, but some players never learn. They did the driving test with success, and when they are in the game they can do whatever they want: Crash into people, cutting off everybody and so on. Luckely we've got admins to fix that problem, but an admin isn't always online! Admin are humans too, so they can't be online all day. But after all it's a good idea man!

Certainly will reduce unqualified truck drivers, I see hundreds of players who run bad, stop the truck in the road, I liked it +1 

[Scandinavian]

-1 That would eman that alot fewer players would join the mod which is bad.

Would you rather have less drivers that can drive or more trollers and rammers that ruin every single player's game?

[Scandinavian]

Regards to the above.

 

I would rather have more inexperienced drivers and the trollers would as we do now, get banned. (Harsher punishments might be good tought)

I just want to add some Feedback, 

 

I'm currently on my own road to becoming a real trucker. This just interests me. I was some what shocked that ETS2/ATS didn't have some sort of CDL training. The drive training I mean. Starting and backing and some basic drive test. I get that forcing people would be a bad idea, Though it worked great for Gran Turismo. Even just a learning center for people who wish to go and learn how to operate trucks in this game that simulated a drive test with instruction. It does not have to be greatly real. But in this case I agree it would be nice if people started in one server and then graduate to another when they decided to take some sort of drive test to show the computer that they can handle driving within certain perimeters. 

 

Parking test: Turing on your truck parking it and maneuvering in a lot > Without trailer

Backing and maneuvering in tight spaces: Moving with a trailer in tight quarters, Backing a trailer in to drop zones > with the difficulty set as hard as the driver is ever willing to go. Easy medium hard. 

Road test: Driving in your lane, lane changes, shifting, stopping at lights, signaling, merging > Basic road stuff

 

My .02 But this seams like just fun rant then an improvement. There would probably have to be structure for this already in the game. 

[Mudkip_]

who would do these tests?

 

because no staff will just want to watch people drive.

[TrademarkGamer]

We have 1 million members so how are we going to test all these people

porque no hay personal será sólo quieren ver a la gente en coche.

 

There is neither one will do these tests, it would be useless.

I just think !!!

[the bored hermit]

Ye it may work but it's a bit late now we can't get everyone who plays now to do it lol and there is a million

[Guest]

+1 for me, good idea, but TruckersMP will need some staff to do the driving test with many people. But after that, it will reduce unskilled drivers. But not trolls. Sometimes they could drive, if they want, and they will pass the driving test and then mess around on TruckersMP roads anyway.

[NCC-1701]

-1 for the "driving test" suggestion. It is unrealistic to find enough staff for this kind of test because there are too many drivers every day.

[heyhococo]

There'd be a huge backlog of people awaiting testing to join, meaning much more work for the already busy admins, and also this would mean less admins are available for their actual work- being in game (Hence the name, In Game Administrator).

 

I also believe this has been suggested and rejected a lot before because it isn't a viable option.

[Calixta97]

I already suggested this . maybe a year ago. but they rejected it, due to lack of information I gave. hahaha

Thank's to you, you suggest it again.
with full of info.

 

+1 

[mutlob]

-1 from me. It's a game, you don't need a license to play it, you don't need to take a test. Let the admins do their job.

[Alv4s0r]

-1, Allow MP for player which played not 2 hour but about 1 day at SP

[BOSSENTERPRiSES]

-1. TruckersMP is not a driving school, TruckersMP allows people to play with other players and friends. This way, the joy of driving increases. Also, In-Game rules exist to prevent unwanted actions which can be performed by amateur and thoughtless players.
