HGV cars speed limit - salman - 2024-03-25 09:40

I think the speed limit of HGV or BUS cars should be lower than other vehicles. For example, they can be dangerous when driving at 90 in the city.

This is a good idea, I agree for mainly two reasons; 1) HGV / BUS can’t reach certain speeds and 2) If attempted it poses danger and they end up flipping. Realistically speaking, HGV / BUS cars should have a lower speed limit than regular cars. For example, if the Highway speed is 120, for HGV /BUS it should be 80, and 160 on the Autobahn should be 90 with a leeway until 95.

I think this might also help with the other suggestion to increase income of HGV / BUS vehicles since they are very slow compared to regular vehicles.

+1 good idea.

Maybe it can be combined with another recent suggestion by Jardim: https://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=37694

So the max income for HGV/Bus can be reached at a maximum of 80-100 kmh, even if the max speed on that road is higher.

It reminds me of the suggestion I made a while ago. https://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=34237

Yes, tslm

This would be extremely beneficial because yesterday i was doing bus, and the best i could do in the A/B sections was +2 even with a 40% res.

In my country
Light vehicles (aka cars, little pickups, bikes and else) Highway speed is 120Km/h MAX, all country.
Heavy vehicles (Bus, heavy cargo trucks, and even no cargo trucks, max speed is 100/90, and it depends on the neighbourhood allowed to do max 60km/h).
But on this "heavy vehicles" here, there are those controlled by the incorporation like the guys who fix internet issues and else, and cars/pickups carrying a dolly trailer with a bike, or small cargo, are suitable for heavy vehicles role.

It would be better, if the HGV/BUS licence capped people to only drive at 90km/h, barely are the trucks that reach 80km/h, if they even reach that, and not many buses are quick enough for that. Not mentioning that as Chuck said that rules are being built within insim codes, so yes, that is actually suitable nowadays, cap an specific kind of vehicle to a certain amount of speed.(Excepty if fly away by Physics...)

Took this from another post, about hgv vehicles. Chuck has also another point, even if the player is old enough, well understood of the rules, shit may happen because people want it.
(Just in case, i see no point restricting vehicles in order to "slow" them a bit, someone will find out a way to counter that, specially on a good tune)

I made a similar thread in the past in which I talked about the same idea but for a different purpose. Different Speed Limit
