ATS Police Tweaks

Description
Tweaks police fines and probability
Most fine chances for when there is no cop around removed or lowered. No more double fines if a cop spots you.

With no cop (or camera) around, there is no chance of a fine for:
-Driving without lights
-Passing a red light including turning right on red -- legal in virtually the entire USA
-Speeding (without a speed camera)

And lowered chances for:
-Speeding past a speed camera (90% instead of 100%)

And added:
-Illegal border crossing fine (comes into play if you use a map with Mexico or Canada added)
-Hard shoulder violation fine

In addition to this the time before the first speeding fine is increased, giving you a chance to slow down, and the time between sleep avoiding fines is increased.

The fine for car crashes is set to the lowest possible amount, 1, as most crashes are caused by the AI. You still get the message but no longer have to pay the full fine as well as deal with any damage to your truck.

does this work on 1.49?

I have tried to mod that before, but either I don't fully understand how the overspeeding system works, or part of it is hardcoded.

The formula is fine *= min( multiplier ^ (overspeed / step), limit)
But changing the steps from default 2.777778 doesn't seem to reflect on in-game changes.

Is it possible to increase the overspeed fine threshold? AFAIK that 8 kph / 5 mph is a bit too strict, IRL they fine you when speeding by about double that on a highway.

Je voudrai seulement éviter , suprimer les dégats au véhicule. Quel mod ?

Mechanically it works just like the weight check or a toll booth. If you are in range of the check and leave it without doing the action, you're caught.

If you have a mod that adds other countries and manage to drive past the passport check area, you get fined.

Illegal border crossing fine: what do you mean with that? How can I illegaly cross the border?
Erbkaiser  [author] Nov 13, 2022 @ 4:05pm 
Exactly. It exists in the code and in ETS2 is a fine by default, but in ATS it is not, presumably because (as far as I can tell) it is not a fine in California.

@Erbkaiser

What would that be exactly? Would it be like a violation/fine for driving on the shoulder?
