Police pull over mod?
Is there a mod where you actually have to pull over for a cop to get a ticket instead of, them throwing a ticket at you while going 80 in a 55?

What do you want... the real thing... come on now...

Why such sass for this.

You already need to stop for fuel, stop for red lights, need to rest, need to search out and stop to repair.

Why is needing to pull over to get a ticket frowned upon with this community.

It's either one of 2 things. Either A this has been suggested, requested and or demanded a lot or B people want the fine system to ""work like real life"".
To get slightly back on track it could be a coding limitation on why this may not be added.

I have always liked the idea of moving the game clock forward a half hour, an hour, whatever, for every violation. Would of course not matter in external contracts, but could be fun in time critical freight market. Nothing cut scenes or graphics of any kind need to be programmed, but having a time penalty in freight market only seems to me to make sense.

I can see the coding be complicated, having to generate a stop point somewhere.

Yeah part of a speeding ticket should also be time, since IRL you would lose time.

Me thinks you could get a notice to pull over, stop, and then they could have some cut scene that just has a cop walking up to your window giving you said ticket. It would show your current truck, but the animations would be the same everytime(though, I'm sure they could make a few variants). I feel like I've seen something like this in other games.
Though, nothing too important currently.

They should bring back the police system from their old 18 Wheels games. The cops would pull you over and fine you...quite heavily actually. However there was a chance you could outrun them, a little chase would ensue. They would drive up to you from infront or behind in effort to pull you over, if you don't resist then you get stopped automatically and fined...if you fight back then they would follow you best they could while trying to get you to stop if they failed at this then you have outrun them...fine free. BUT they still want you, a meter would show up and slowly, very slowly decrease, if the police see you at any time the bar is not empty then they would try to pull you over again. Higher the bar the more likely they would be to succeed. If the bar runs out they forget about you.

I liked this system, simple yet effective, they didn't need to go full Driver Parallel Lines. The downside was that in some games if you ran a red, the bar would fill up all the way even if a cop didn't see you, same for crashing....guess that was mimicking cameras or something....But it would be nice for the system to return (minus the omnipotent aspect.)

i like the idea of that, kinda think it would make it more fun

HA oh yeah I remember that 18 wheel games. I forgot you could try to out run them.

That's a great idea. It something that I've always wanted so I hope SCS make this happen someday. It will make the game a lot more fun and realistic and it will give the player a greater incentive to avoid running red lights, speeding and crashing into AI so that you don't waste time

Yeah sometimes I run red lights because I know the penalty is only a few hundred dollars. Worth it if I'm running late.

we should have that mod in the game because it will be more realistic and plus it is the same in real life think about it
