So..... ?
ToxicBunny
Oi! Leave me out of this...
Shall we start with the bad...
Truckers fsck up the traffic by trying to overtake each other when the speed differential is around 3km/h.. twats.
How many accidents and road deaths do we have because of unqualified truck drivers fraudulently issued with code 14 licences by corrupt cops? The arrest in Free State of 5 traffic officials and 4 others leaves one with more questions than answers.
Free State traffic cops bust for code 14 licences fraud

Jezza said it best:
Lorry (Truck) driver ‘joke’ (November 2008)
While driving a lorry (Truck): “What matters to lorry drivers? Murdering prostitutes? Fuel economy?” He added: “This is a hard job [driving a lorry] and I’m not just saying this to win favour with lorry drivers: change gear; change gear; change gear; check your mirrors; murder a prostitute … ” Media watchdog Ofcom cleared Clarkson, ruling that the comments were justified by the context in which they were made.

You are obviously going to find one or two who drive bad but generally truckers are not appreciated

The ones who do this at the start of a long incline are the real twats.

Those are just bad drivers period. Also, a lot of new trucks sold these days are governed so even if they wanted to overtake, many can't and a lot of drivers aren't aware of it.

keep your reality out of this ffs... but I'm talking largely about the twats who are doing 30km/h on the freeway, and the trucker behind them is doing 33 km/h and decides he must overtake, and takes 73 hours to do so, whilst screwing with the traffic on the N3 monumentally.
I'm ranting at this Truck driver type

That's just because everyone murders prostitutes not just truckers.
I've been playing ETS and now all I can think about is quitting my corporate desk job and drive a truck. I was at a BP and a lady pulled up with a fuel truck and I was so jealous.

I know what you are saying, but in this country at least trucking is painfully long and very very much underpaid.
Think what you can do ( at the risk of ruining the game for you) is get ETS2 and then add some realism mods.
Also if you want to see just how good ETS can be, check out Mark Armstrong Gaming On Youtube.
