Euro Truck Simulator 2

- If ever you find yourself passing cars, slow down. You've likely missed a speed limit decrease, and the fine for speeding is one of the biggest. (In the event it's not a speed limit change, slowing down still helps you avoid whatever slowed that car down)

- Manual parking isn't really worth it unless you nail it. The reward is scaled based on how accurately your park job reflects the desired one, so don't waste a lot of time making multiple attempts. Spend that time doing longer runs!

- Don't try to rush through a turn to get through a yellow light; by the time your rig gets moving and executes the turn you'll have been awarded a nice "ran red light" ticket for your troubles. Just wait the extra cycle, they aren't long.

- Road rage is smiled upon. Mash H and J when a driver cuts you off, or takes too long going through an intersection so you don't have time to go through yourself before the light turns, or just in general.

- The windshield wipers are default mapped to the P key, and the headlights are mapped to L. Rain & darkness don't come up in the first few drives, so the tutorial doesn't cover it.

- Germany around Dortmand is the best starting place.

- Start with 2 or 3 points in long distance. Then 1 point in high value & fragile cargo, 2 points in just-in-time delivery. After that put more in long distance and start unlocking ADR.

- Take out the 100k loan and buy a truck as soon as possible. Pay off the 100k and take out the 500k loan when it becomes available. Upgrade the garage & buy cheap Ivecos for drivers.

- Volvo is the best starting truck, Iveco is the worst. The rest are fairly equal although the Scania & MAN eventually upgrade close to the Volvo.
