Truck rescue?
So i took a contract job and doing 70mph in a 80mph zone heading to the drop off point and i am coming around a blind bend on the highway and the next thing i see are stopped cars/trucks in both lanes.

As i have the more traffic mod installed and my luck i clip another rig's trailer trying to avoid a pileup, as i had no time to stop and i ended up flipping my truck on it's side as a resualt.

Only had about 100 miles left out of 1000 and have no clue how to get my truck set back upright on it's wheels and i am blocking both lanes at this point with no idea if there is a rescue or reset vehicle option.

Does anyone know what key resets your vehicle in the event you do flip it or if there isn't one?
Which if theres not they need to add one.

There is no key to reset your vehicles orientation directly, you have to go to the maintenence screen on the route advisor (F7 by default i think) and call for a tow truck, they'll take you to the nearest cities repair shop.

I had the issue a few times where traffic doesn't move, just exit back to main menu, then continue and it will reset the traffic

Alternatively, just quicksave and quickload (Or save and load), empties the streets of traffic as well.
It's not always the traffic sadly.
Been a few times i misjudged the speed the truck with trailer could take in a bend and either got high centered on a concrete barrier or bounced off it hard enough it flpped me.

Watched an AI semi go around a mild looking bend in a 40 speed zone.
As i was following behind or should say was getting left behind.

It was my first time on that section of road and found myself about down a cliff if not for the invisible wall
I learned that it was a much sharper bend then it looked on the gps cause one minute theres road the next it darts suddenly to the right and hitting the brakes didn't save me i just kept going straight.
Will probably end up doing it a few more times if i forget about it. (Almost did about an hour later in the same fasion no less)

I think i may have recorded that.
Think i may have spent a good 20 minutes trying to get back on the road afterwords which i wouldn't have recorded all that trying to get out.
That and i can only record 10 minute videos.
