Front escort stuck

[PipPopPuddinPop]

I am very close to completing my delivery, but the front escort keeps getting stuck in the middle lane. The game doesn't seem to care whether I'm in the middle or right lane. The front escort moves into the middle lane, puts on its hazard lights, and stops moving either way.

Ugh, what a miserable place and time to experience this kind of thing. :(

I see there is a car behind your trailer...
That's why I ask now: Can the other traffic pass you. or do they keep quiet behind you?
If the other traffic is quiet behind you, I'm guessing that one or more AIs have gotten between you and the rear escort, and that the front escort is waiting for the rear to get close enough for you to continue ?
In that case, try if you can maneuver a little further to the right so that the other traffic can pass you.
- Alternatively, the solution might be to save and reload.

Traffic could probably pass on the left side but they are not doing it. The car behind me is the rear escort and there are no other cars between us. It is hard to tell in the screenshot but I have gotten as close to the right as I can without touching the guardrail. The cargo is very wide so there is no additional room to move over.

Unfortunately, I tried reloading a save from before I turned onto that road but I have had the same issue happen several times no matter how early or late I switch to the right lane.

One lane is not enough for your load clearance and you want the left side of your load to be inline with the left side of the lead vehicle. You have the right of way and the escort vehicles provide the safety zone you own.

The lead vehicle stopped because your clearances present a problem and an immediate correction is necessary.

You can't be a rookie with a million euros banked but you need to exercise your right to the road and stop worrying about other drivers because they must yield to you since you have the right of way. If you did hit the rail then damage should be found on F7 but may still be able to add one degree left course correction to continue.

I probably did not explain it well. I originally was occupying the middle and right lanes. The lead vehicle stopped and would not move regardless of whether I was in both lanes, the middle lane, or the right lane. I am only in the far right in that picture because I was trying to force the lead vehicle into moving since it did not seem happy with where I was.

I am not a rookie but this is my first oversize delivery. I was doing very well until this point where I am very close to the destination.

I think that it may be bugged.

The only position I did not try was at the left side of the road. So I tried that and then the rear escort overtook me and exited without me and the front escort. Many other cars began to pass.

I ended up reloading the save (again) and very, very carefully maneuvering between the front escort and the guard rail. I know that I am not meant to complete the delivery without the escort, but...

Similar thing happened to me the other day. I saved the game, uncoupled the trailer, and went and gave the lead truck a slight nudge. Not enough to cause damage as that would've probably failed the delivery, but just a push.

If that hadn't worked I was just gonna quit out and log back in to erase the nearby traffic, but it actually got him driving again.
