Description
Tweaks police fines and probability
Most fine chances for when there is no cop around removed or lowered. No more double fines if a cop spots you.

With no cop (or camera) around, there is no chance of a fine for:
-Driving without lights
-Passing a red light including turning right on red -- legal in virtually the entire USA
-Speeding (without a speed camera)

And lowered chances for:
-Speeding past a speed camera (90% instead of 100%)

And added:
-Illegal border crossing fine (comes into play if you use a map with Mexico or Canada added)
-Hard shoulder violation fine

In addition to this the time before the first speeding fine is increased, giving you a chance to slow down, and the time between sleep avoiding fines is increased.

The fine for car crashes is set to a much lower amount, about one quarter of default, as most crashes are caused by the AI. You still get the message but no longer have to pay the full fine as well as deal with any damage to your truck.

@Erbkaiser okay Good to know. I wondered about that, if they were cosmetic ones....Thank you. Great mod btw.

@Isaiah You should get a fine roughly 90% of the time, but only if the camera is actually coded as a camera. A lot of them are cosmetic only.

Is there meant to be a fine when running a red light with a camera cause I never get one although I see lots of traffic cameras in some states. Just curious if mod is working as intended or I might have a conflict with another mod. Thanks

It's a nice mod. Good work.

Thank you for the fix!

You were right - it seems SCS changed the illegal trailer code and I missed that update!
I'll add it to my mod now and push it. The next time you launch the game, it should give you the proper fine (if any).

Interesting then. Cause disabling this mod only I didn't get fined. I don't know what the issue is then.

That's not due to this mod. I don't touch that fine so it is the same as vanilla.

If you get that fine you ARE using an illegal trailer, which means either it is actually forbidden there, or the country definition file for Idaho you are using is modified by another mod in a bad way.

I found a bug with the mod. I got charged 1500$ fine for illegal trailer usage every frame going through idaho with the turnpike double dry van trailer.
