Speed Limits

[Thad]

I was driving down a highway in California. Many other cars were passing me, and the ones in other lanes were also going much faster than me. Suddenly, a police officer passes by and I get a speeding ticket!?

Please fix this, as I usually match the speed of other drivers to get an idea of what the speed limit is.

Trucks have lower speed limits compared to other traffic

Even the trucks were going faster.

Also, are you sure? I see trucks going the same speed as other vehicles on a regular basis. Is it a small difference? because, the AI were going about 20 mph over my speed.

You can view either the Car or Truck speed limit by going into the gameplay settings.

What im curious about is if there is any lenancy in going faster than the limit, say 60 in a 55, cause driving through Cali is slow and Nevada was much faster being 65-80 in NV

And in real life youd match the other traffics speed to know the speed limit and youd still get a ticket. Wow ROFL

I've been doing 60 in the 55 zones passing without getting tickets....just a few bugs to fix here and there.

yup. 5 hours in and can confirm the trucks are going slower than regular cars.

Maximum speed for trucks with trailers in California is 55 miles per hour. I live in California, in case you're wondering how I know and if I know what I'm talking about.

Isn't that the point of the police cars though? I thought you were only supposed to be ticketed by those now.

- I do not have the game, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure about that, I've been doing 5 over now since I started since the engines in game see like they don't have enough juice to go up a small incline. The only thing I've been ticketed for is running a red light and that ♥♥♥♥♥ cost me $1200.....But I can do rights on red now :D

OH wait. I just realized it shows the truck speed limit on the minimap.

Still used to ETS2.
Oh well, guess this was all for nothing.

Sounds like real life to me. I've paid the $500 ticket that I received while watching many cars fly by me going down I-15 in real life.

That's why I turn off tickets. I already know that experience well enough.

i miss the "disable police" option *looks in the config file*

There are awful laws in USA. I have no reason to upgrade my truck and get more powerful engine with these speed limits. Are any states exist without extremely low speed limits? I drove with 130-150 km/h speed in ETS 2 and want to do the same in ATS.

OP, on your GPS (the one on the computer, forget the name) you can see in the lower left in white what the truck speed limit is for the road you are driving.
