B&Č Transport ASIR [CZE] Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 @Addict2SimsQc Driving fast does not mean everytime reckless driver that doesnt care about others, I am driving like you, just faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 @ASIR [CZE] The speed limits aren't meant to make drivers take more time to do their trips, they are meant to guarantee that anyone driving on the road will be as safe as possible. This being said, driving faster than the limits is ALWAYS reckless as long as there are other players in the area. And anyone who drives recklessly shows that they don't care about others' safety.

Interstate Nomad Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just like @Addict2SimsQc, I follow all road traffic rules, including speed limits stated by road traffic signs and/ or on the GPS map, red lights, give way, etc. and also rest periods. In light of the fact that both ETS2 and ATS are meant to be simulators, I do not understand the need to drive at excessive speeds and endanger other players.

The B3AST Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 There's a difference between driving fast and driving fast and reckless. I don't see too much of a issue driving fast as long as you're not interrupting someone else gameplay. Not talking about excessive speeds but something around 10-15 over the posted. As always, stop at traffic lights and stop signs and don't try and turn in front of people. Wait your turn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[KızılTürk] C.Yüksel Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm going 150 km / h. because It's fun There is no other reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Guizzo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Now that most are with jobs of the event limited to 90 km/h the game experience is much better....... It could always be like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I am used to driving faster than 90 km/h because I live in America, so I find it hard for myself to drive 90 km/h. (Most trucks in the US are governed from the factory at 65 MPH (104 km/h), but a lot of companies also remove those governors.) The only state that legally requires trucks to have a speed governor is California, which limits their trucks to 55 MPH (just about 90 km/h). Even there, companies remove the governors and drive faster despite the legal requirement. When im in a VTC that requires speed limiter on/not exceeding limits, or a World of Trucks event, sure, i'll do 90 km/h. The nature of how people drive in America heavily influences the way I drive. Speed limits are typically more used as a suggestion in most places. (Excluding School zones, where they are very heavily enforced) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Excluding School zones, where they are very heavily enforced) i kinda don't get your point here it's easy to get used to the speed limits if you even need to get used to them you just don't drive faster than 80 It's like a german human drives on the autobahn suddenly he enters france and he has got speed limits and he can't drive properly because in germany there are no speed limits on the autobahn and his excuse would be Sorry i'm from germany and i'm used to go 200 on the autobahn doesn't make sense at all right and if i drive a long time in the UK i still can easily just switch from 97 km/h to 80 km/h if i enter France so i don't see a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyWong Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Within city limits, I try not to speed. Outside that, all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 ^ @Le Cat That's not what im saying, I can get used to them, I just find it hard to. This is something that is different between people, some people will find it easier or harder than others to adapt to "wildly" different speed limits and rules of the road. For cars it is usually much easier, but for trucks, changing speed limits like that is almost like entering a new world for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfmpillow Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Simple, people like to go fast and do things they aren't able to do in real life. At least, I hope this isn't what they do IRL.. tfmpillow | Retired Team Member Rules | Recruitment | Support | Feedback | Meet the Team | Guides | Suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I feel like this is a valid question to be honest. Some people just like to drive fast as some people don't have time/patience so they go fast or they may find it more exciting. Europe 1 is the ideal place for simulation most of the time though I must also say: a majority of people don't always go 150kph or above the speed limits. I've been on many drives with my VTC and with a few friends where we have just gone the speed limits. When you do that, it's much more of a relaxing experience and enjoyable overall. yo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 On CD road I go about 100-110 km/h max but I will go full speed if there are not many players. I'm not one of those players who overtakes on that road though. Having oncoming traffic every 5-10 seconds it's almost impossible to without causing a crash.

[LazyT] Chickin Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 It depends for me on a few things, mainly distance and load weight. The trucks in ETS are crazy top heavy, and the roads are pretty bad with minimal banking. Typically I set cruise at about 110kmh if im not pulling oversize loads, which is about 68mph and typical for US highway speeds. 90kmh (55mph) is way too slow when going on 1000km+ jaunts. Thats city speeds for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I prefer driving 120km/h on highways and 70-80km/h on countryroads. It is the perfect speed for truckers to cruise around the map, some people wanna be fast at their destination but it's sad because they can not see the beautiful seesights of ETS2 MP. My opinion is, it is everyone's choice how he wanna drive, just it is not realistic anymore :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullbrann Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 In my opinion, I like to drive in the speed limit, because I feel that it makes the game much more fun when you are following the rules. Maby the players that are driving too fast don't like to "drive" simulation as we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmuecke Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I am one of those drivers that keepsto all traffic rules , i stop at red lights do speed limits etc. i would play on EU1 but sadly enough that server is barely populated so i tend to stick in EU3 (More realistic drivers then EU1 but way less idiots then on EU2) , i bought a truck simulator to simulate being a trucker (eventho i'm a trucker IRL :p ) , not to race if i wanted that i'd get forza or something . As for people going over 100 , i do feel bothered about them but won't rly say much unless they are bothering others or myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[VIVA]Omnomnom Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Well I drive on Europe 1 so it’s always the speed limit for me If I do feel the urge to turn into a speed demon, I just log into single player and add mods. It’s fun to bump the NPCs off into space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TPH] iNadeox Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Simple for me. To get from point a to point b as fast as possible, but also without breaking rules or being a headache to others. Max trailer stability, 90% braking intensity, and 85% steering sensitivity. Been playing on a keyboard for years with that settings. It does have a learning curve but once you get used to it, it's great. // Isaiah Wijesekara | Philippines | Former [ETRVTC] Driver | TMP ID 10832 \\ // [TPH] Truckers Philippines | Member Since November 15, 2014 | TrucksBook \\ |||||| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbi. Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Sometimes I drive 150 Km/h, but only if the roads are clear and I'm not endangering anyone with it. Or I am on an empty road with my Boyfriend, just us Otherwise I drive 90-100 km/h, that's enough for me. I also want to see some of the landscape and drive comfortably.
