So this game is actually way more fun than I really expected. My first trip I only rolled the truck once (I guess 79km/h is a bit too much to take a curve that has a posted speed limit of 30km/h.) My second run may or may not have taken out the Welcome to Germany sign. Whoops!!

Country roads have a speed limit of 45km/h, there are no speed cameras so this is really the /safe/ speed to travel at. I've hit far too many trucks going 90 on a country road.
The Autobahn often ranges between no speed limit and 100km/h, except for most tunnels where the speed limit drops to about 70.
Highways in England often have a posted speed of 80km/h
Off ramps are a uniform 40 take this as you will, no one says you'll get in trouble for hitting it with the pedal to the metal (Though you will destroy your truck)
As I've been driving I keep an eye out for the speed limit signs, they're definitely there but if you're going 90km/h odds are you'll miss it.

Don't mind me just taking a comfy truck nap under this comfy tree.
I LOL'd at the helpful upvotes on @teramona's post.
So @ilriyas and I will look into standardizing the rules for this. This whole thing started off as a casual fun little thing, we had no idea everyone was so ready to get comfy.
I think, ideally, we need to drive the same route - a long one that we can judge time taken and damage done. Drivers use any truck they want. Comfy up or go home. Is it possible for us to all take the same job or are the randomized? (I'm away from my PC so I can't do tests in the game).
Everybody get practicing and we'll figure out the logistics.
I almost died laughing just before the 4 minute part. There is a short moment right after the car backs up to block him where he takes a quick look at the hill to his right and you can tell he's thinking about it.
@GnomeQueen and I have formed "The Big Team"... And none of you stand a chance now.
If only there was multiplayer.
Also I have yet to find a truck with more starting power than the Volvo. 120k for the truck, 600HP, 2600Nm of Torque. Booking 120kmph with 25tons in the trailer is hard to steer.

And for anyone who's still struggling with gamepad controls setup, that video that @BlackHawk posted is spot-on.
