I think the cops should be more realistic like 18 WoS. At least there they got you for red lights, speeding, and violating rest laws. I didn't mind any of those.

you've got a good point. but it's almost always the truck driver that gets blamed in real life as well so they did get that right in a way. and I agree the 18wos police were good...aside from not being able to turn right on red. that was annoying.

Not all states have a "turn on right" law. I know from trucking myself. California in my days were "turn on right" when posted. It could have changed since then.

The traffic needs to be fixed. I cant say it any more simple.

People change lanes when you pass them = fine.
You crashed and are not moving on the highway and people crash into you = fine.
You are at a intersection and a truck turns into your road and he crashes with his trailer into you = fine.
And more...

Old news. Let's stop repeating it. You're testing my patience with some of your postings. We are all too familiar with the police concept here.

Hmm, I have nearly no problems with the traffic or police. It seems that I'm not normal.

Traffic usually waits for me before changing lanes and when I want to turn right or left on a crossing I just wait for them to leave to avoid hitting them with my trailer.

I think it's not too hard to learn how to harmonize with them.

I agree. Some people drive like lunatics, others are using just a keyboard & mouse. This game was not made for that. Yet others just don't use common sense. I have not had these issues either.

I don´t have a problem with the traffic, but I wonder, why the blinkers are useless. If a car is next to me on the lane for another highway/parking-lot/Whatever, I need to stop or slow down, because the traffic doesn´t react to the blinkers...

They also change the lane immediately if you load a quicksave (Not funny if you are next to them).

Some cars are changing two or three lines at once.

yea I understand what you mean when you're saying that some don't. My dad's had that problem in a few states as well even though he doesn't go out of state much anymore thanks to line haul. fortunately my state is kinda typical and fits in well. our cops respect drivers a lot and give them a lot of leway in the city. however the bears are a bunch of jerks unfortunately. they're like the "super troopers" in RnR. they'll pull you over for anything and everything.

Come out of a diner I was parked in front of it then took off to the road did everything right they just said I was in the wrong lane when I was getting my rig to the right lane leaving a parking lot. Also when you do your turns you might have to go into the wrong lane to make the corner if the trailers in this game actually moved like a real trailer.

i usually show the blinker a few seconds befor i change lane, and cars and truck brake slightly so i can change. most people turn on blinker when they start changing lanes.
