About this mod

I found the current fines in the game to be very low, and didn't allow the driver to decide if the cost of breaking the law is worth it or not so I decided to give drivers that choice.

I also felt that the low fines given too the driver made the game too arcade like, and it didn't punish those who looked toward turning this fantastic simulator into GTA 5 which I really dislike by the way. I'm not into cheap, and cheesy. Not that GTA 5 is a bad game, it's not mean't to be in ATS or ETS2.

The only way to enforce a law or laws is to hit a company where it hurts the most which is attack their bottom line, and they will fall in line eventually when they are looking at a negative balance sheet, and the bank keeps calling them every day asking for payment so I decided to do just that with this small game edit.

Weigh Stations now have a real purpose in the game. If you pass by a station check you will be heavily fined, and I mean heavily fined. My only suggestion too you is obey the law, or pay the penalty. It is up too you after all so do what you think is good for your company.

Now keep in mind these are the base values which means the values will increase along with your level. The higher your level (reputation etc) the higher the fine will be.

The fine is determined by base + level * step, limit. Below are the values used.

------------
Here are the base values being charged for offenses.

# level based fines: min(base + level * step, limit), rounded up to multiple of rounding.
fine_factor_base: 0.7
fine_factor_step: 0.08
fine_factor_limit: 2.5
fine_amount_rounding: 10

# speeding based progression: fine *= min( multiplier ^ (overspeed / step), limit), uses same rounding as above
fine_overspeed_step: 5.777778
fine_overspeed_step_multiplier: 2.877
fine_overspeed_multiplier_limit: 25.5

fine_amounts[0]: 900 # car crash
fine_amounts[1]: 2000 # avoid sleeping
fine_amounts[2]: 15000 # wrong way
fine_amounts[3]: 2250 # speeding (camera)
fine_amounts[4]: 3500 # no lights during night
fine_amounts[5]: 1900 # red lights
fine_amounts[6]: 3100 # speeding
fine_amounts[7]: 50000 # avoid weighing
fine_amounts[8]: 5000 # illegal trailer
fine_amounts[9]: 25000 # avoid inspection
fine_amounts[10]: 2200 # illegal border crossing
fine_amounts[11]: 500 # hard shoulder violation
fine_amounts[12]: 500 # damaged vehicle usage

*IMPORTANT: Make sure you load this mod above all others.

Note: It's been mentioned that this mod causes increased FPS. I can assure you that it does NOT increase your fps. I am running this game fully maxed out with 400% scale on a AMD Phenom II X4 940, 8 Gigs of System Ram Running Windows 10 with a R9-380 Video card, and I have absolutely no issue's, and this is with using many graphic mods so don't believe what other people tell you.
