Barba' Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 well, since you said that you do not know how to drive the HCT very well, I advise you to drive only on highways with at least 2 lanes, or to make long journeys within Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I go very wide before turns and even go into the oncoming lane a bit if needed and there is no traffic in the way. I even do this with a normal trailer so I have no chance of going on the curb. It's a challenge to turn with them but once you get used to that another challenge is that it takes forever to accelerate with 40t+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haulvoc Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It was easier than I thought. The steerable wheels help you in making your turns less wide. There were times where I went onto the oncoming lane for a turn to the right, just to find out there was room for a another truck between me and the curb/barrier. If you can drive a single, double or B double properly, you should not have any issues. It just takes some adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting that's an option when I make my trailers. I'm used to American trailers so I prefer not having the steer tires. Having the trailer turn with me causes me more issues for some reason than just having a regular trailer. As for@Pmuecke, It will mainly come with practice but as a general rule of thumb, just swing wide. If you can't turn wide enough without hitting another player, just wait for a gap in traffic or ask in chat (Worst case, single player or F7). Some people might sit and honk at you and accuse you of blocking for sitting at an intersection, but if it's a matter of taking time and turning safely or hitting another player, always take your time.

caff!!! Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Drive like an american: start your turn in the other lane if you are going onto a primary road and don't be afraid of crossing lanes if you need to avoid the ditch.

Jamie Appleby Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I find that with the HCT, my reversing skills have reduced lol. I keep crashing into things or going in the complete wrong direction haha. Jamie Appleby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
