Okay. Just like some car driving teachers tell you to shift to neutral and release the clutch at every red traffic light and some don't.

No reputable driving instructor would teach that.

Huh? A normal thing to do.

And btw, for cars with Stop&Go (or what ever trademark a brand uses) to work you have to.

Ps. For regular cars, not an actual truck driver here...

Funny, cause you actually fail at the exam if you don't do that (that includes stop signs).

I've had my truck license for 10 years now.

Is taught by everyone here to release the clutch and switch to neutral, to avoid expending the clutch.

^^^^^^ THIS, as far as clutch goes (maybe throw out bearing that wears).
IN GAME parking brake is quick, easy, one button on and off. Regardless of what works best IRL, it seems like a fine option in game (I admit that I never do as I don't have a wheel button bound to parking brake and normally do not touch KB.)

Every decent driving instructor will teach that.

Clutch plate itself is released when clutchpedal is pressed fully and don't wear, but "pressure ball bearing" (actual heavy duty funny looking ball bearing, sorry my english) is wearing.
Probably somebody have made teaching video how clutch work and that video will help a lot future drivers!

Have been driving a truck for 8 years IRL.
The parking brake is a great "tool" for holding the truck at traffic lights etc.

1. If the traffic light is uphill, the parking brake is good for holding the truck in place, and prevent it from rolling backwards when taking off again.
2. When stopped in traffic, where the stop might take a little while, it's much easier to keep the truck stationary with the parking brake, than have to sit and press the brake pedal the entire time.

So you use it all the time, not just for parking.

Same here (although drove trucks for only 2 years), parking brake is a no brainer. No reason to bother standing on the brake for minutes on end. SCS didn't made it in game, but most modern truck have electric parking brake that automatically disengage once the truck is at the right RPM to move. The Renault T for exemple, you engage the parking brake at the traffic light and just accelerate when it turns green. No risk to move backward accidentally. I really wish SCS would implement that ingame, along with blindside proximity warning, automatic emergency braking, etc, there's a lot of great driver assistance RL that are simply absent of ETS2 and ATS.

Hopefully SCS won't add them in game for many years. Modern drivers are so lazy/blind/ignorant

There's also adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and others in the new Scania trucks that aren't implemented. It's a shame. I'm surprised Scania even let them be put into the game without requiring that in the license agreement.

[Sandhill]

A challenge to implement perhaps...as is does the game have a clue of where your truck is in relation to lanes or other vehicles?

I assuming you'll want an AI driver as well? That way you won't have to play the game whasoever, just watch.

The majorly of those assists would make ETS2 boring, and remove gameplay value.

Wow, that's a little rude for me merely pointing out those features on the actual truck are missing. I do not want an AI driver. I want a replay feature, since that fits perfectly. Having an AI drive for you is the opposite of what the game is about. However, those assists, lane assist, auto-brake, adaptive cruise control, emergency hazard avoidance, etc ARE part of trucking. Whether it makes trucking boring or not is not relevant in this context.

You should look for context, subject, and intent before making a reply to a post.

lol you're just making assumptions based on his words

In Europe-based trucking vlogs, I often see them using the truck parking brake at traffic lights. I'd go with that.

i never use the parking brake on a Hill or something.
Just press the foot brake and use the Hill assist (in real life)

just hold the Trolly Brake...sure it only holds the trailer , but you're not going to roll.
