sko0923 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I obey all traffic rules except speed limits. Sometimes I find they are a bit ridiculous so I can find myself going double the limit if its 30 in a construction zone on a motorway which you can go 60 through realistically. However, I stop at red lights, know what road signs mean, use the most difficult parking option (in fact, I don't have the achievement on Steam for automatic parking) and have advanced options ticked such as realistic fuel consumption and realistic air brake simulation. I also tend not to teleport all over the map, I continue from where I last left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackgameryt Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I always try to drive carefully I don't always follow speed but I do stop at red lights and know the meaning of the signs. Keep Trucking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Voyager Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don't follow the speed limits because they're just too low. I do follow the traffic lights and road signs though. I don't know a whole lot about EU traffic laws since I'm American, but I think they're similar enough that i get by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoyo_ManSg Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hello, in the game, I respect all the signals, but also the speed. However, I must admit that a few times on the highway, I support, a lot on the accelerator pedal. When I play alone and there are no players near me of course. I'm very careful. Moreover, I specify, when there are players with me, I always respect all the rules of the highway code. Cordially, Yoyo_ManSg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.Alp.I Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I obey all traffic rules except speed limits (not very often, just 10 - 30kph over). Sometimes I pass red light in places where no one else is. Not in cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDodge34 [FR QC] Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I obey all speed limits, stop signs and lights of each country, I'm not so sure about all the different driving laws in each country except we have to drive on the left in UK and that sometimes I forget about it for around 1-2 minutes when I exit the ship or train.

Reggie's Rig Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 one thing i that i do that i do irl is at night when there is uncoming traffic on the highways i will always turn my highbeams off till they pass. Don't know if anyone else does as high beams don't really blind you in game like irl,i just do for the authenticity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbeledraaideur [NL] Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I ignore the speedlimit, mostly I drive 110KM/H on the Motorway. Also I ignore trafficlights, if nobody is on the radar. If however someone approaches the traffic lights and they are red for me, then I stop and wait. Stop signs get ignored by me, if there is nobody approaching. And I drive half on the emergency lane, if someone tries to take over on a 2x2 lane Motorway Now you think, that is bad. I would also like to point out: if someone needs to make a tight corner coming at me, I stop almost half a truck length earlier, so he has some room. If I think someone is having issues with a tight corner before me, I keep my distance, so that person has some room to backup. (I have seen many video's that people are literally pulling up and put their truck almost in the trailer, while that person is having some issues with taking a corner). When someone is on the emergency lane and nobody is approaching from the rear, I move a lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I drive in both categories depending on who I'm with. Some people dislike stopping for red lights or sitting at the speed limit, other's strictly follow the rules and I will too. If I'm on my own I prefer to obey all of the rules.

Hammy Potter Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 On motorways I travel a few km over 90 to simulate a well set up speed limiter as you're allowed a few km more than 90 IRL even if the speedo shows 90km/h you're probably going in the region of 92-94km/h if you have someone like me setting the tacho/speed limiter up. I'm a mechanic and I like to set them a little fast because you get a tolerance on the speed limiters and then some if you know how to manipulate things (not running the wire or interference devices) because drivers like to have a little more speed so they can overtake faster/safer and not hold up traffic. In Cities/Towns I religiously follow the speed limits because there's no point flying through the likes of Rotterdam at 70km and then trying to manoeuvre around corners, you're just a hazard to everyone around you. On back roads, depending on the terrain/road I will either be on the speed limiter or I'll be following the limit. If someone wants to pass me and it's clear then I'll give a quick indicate to the side of the road to say it's clear and slow down a bit so said person can pass me. I play this game because I enjoy driving trucks how they're supposed to be driven. I may have my license IRL but I am not a professional driver by all means, I have it to make my job a little easier. I play this game so I can sit back and relax whilst making sure that I'm not rusty so I'm not bouncing trailers off curbs when I take a truck on road test at work.

DannyUK Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I even stop at red lights when there is no traffic, that's how much I obey the laws. Abit of a pain though when you get people coming behind and they get impatient ramming you when they try to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[GER]Enzo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I always obey the traffic laws!

lxl Semper lxl Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I obey the rules all the time apart from when I am going east or france or north when the roads are bare I tend to speed a little to get more job's but recently since the heavy haulage has been released just been sticking to my WOTR books and having more fun easpecially when 55mph is fast enough for the heavy haulage...... Also past few weeks I have dedicated myself to staying away from C-D Route (Hells Road) because that's asking for problems.... but yea I do like driving as normal and safe as possible.... The traffic lights when they are working I always obey cause that alone can get you in trouble if you cause an accident.... if they flash organe constantly I crawl through making sure all directions I am heading to are clear and wont cause an issue.....

[RSL] Chio San Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I am a driver who belongs to the first category...^^´ I always obey the traffic laws of the country I'm driving in. The serious simulator who aims for a realistic experience by always follows the speed limits, doesn't ignore traffic lights, plans their route, pays attention to Road signs and knows what they mean, etc. I also find it a bit unfortunate that so many are extremely fast on the road. Sometimes I feel like I'm on the bike,on a Formula 1 circuit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniellus Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 In busy MP roads i always drive safety, with traffic rules. On Singleplayer same - im using many mods to make game real SO im driving with speed limits. Sometimes on MP when nobody nearby and the road is big im driving with bigger speed than allowed, but never red light or wrong highway side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey_Wtf Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 @Glanshon Well I always ignore traffic lights because of the map that shows you if any other truck/car is comming,if there are trucks or cars near by i allways stop on reds. My speeds are fast as is allowed on the road I am on,country 60 -70Mph,Motorways 115 Mph if there are bo trucks or cars near by,I allways slow down when i see on the map if anyone is around. So i am a safe driver and will always give way too other members. The reason for this is because, MP has no real traffic, so you can not call MP a true simulator,why do you think that loads of ETS2 drivers, all ways try to get an improved traffic mod,realistic heavey traffic mod,and so on,so you can not say who drives MP like a real simulator but nice topic Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
