Realistic Drivers - ETS2 Version

Description
Hello! This mod edits the traffic_data definition file in an effort to adjust the AI driving behavior to be more realistic.

In my game, I have noticed that AI vehicles will often go out of their way in an effort to hit you, such as slamming on the brakes, merging into you, willingly driving into you for no reason etc.

This is my edit to make the behavior more realistic, as I've found the default AI behavior to be rather immersion breaking at times, and downright frustrating.

*NOTE THIS MOD IS CREATED BY PURITYCONTROL, AND WAS ADAPTED BY ME WITH PERMISSION FOR ETS2, I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS MOD OTHER THEN THE FEW SECONDS IT TOOK TO CONVERT IT AND ADAPT IT TO ETS2*

@EVERYONE - CIP has updated his traffic density mod, the crashes should now no longer happen if using his mod with ours.

@EVERYONE - If your game is suddenly crashing after the latest update, the problem is NOT with this mod. It is with your Traffic Density Mod. Almost all of the major traffic density mods we tested still have not been updated to reflect the new changes made for the Winter Wonderland WOT event.

This mod does not alter anything other then the traffic_data.sii file, therefore, until the mod author of whatever Traffic Density mod you use fixes it, we recommend disabling any and all traffic density mods *you can keep this one active, as it is not a density mod* and testing until the authors of said mods update them.

@ARLevis - This mod will not crash your game, even after the last update. The problem is not with this mod, it is with your Traffic Density Mod. Almost all of the actual traffic density mods *EVEN THE ONE FROM CIP, THAT EVERYONE USES* contains invalid/outdated files pertaining to the Winter Wonderland event. This is what is causing the crashes. I guarantee if you remove said traffic density mod and keep this mod active, your game crash will go away.

Does this mod works with "Real life traffic density" by kworey?

@Yenkoma - Yes. CIP's Real Traffic Density mod should be directly on top of Realistic Drivers.

The loading order (from top to bottom) is: "Real Traffic Density mod by CIP" "Realistic Drivers"?

Also, this mod is not really dependent on any certain game version, so whenever SCS updates the game, this mod will still work even if we don't update it.

Mod updated to version 3.0 - This change better reflects changes SCS made to the traffic data for 1.57.x game version. As always, make sure your placing this mod directly below any other traffic density mods that alter the trafic_data.sii files, or this mod will not work properly.

To those saying this mod has caused traffic jams and pileups previously, that would not be this mod, that would be your actual traffic density mod. All this mod does is alter the patience and wait times of certain AI behaviors, thus giving the AI a little more time to react to surroundings. Also if the AI does come upon a traffic incident or causes one, they should be better able to reset themselves or take turns merging in and out of another lane to get around it.
