Hello! This mod edits the traffic_data definition file in an effort to adjust the AI driving behavior to be more realistic.
In my game, I have noticed that AI vehicles will often go out of their way in an effort to hit you, such as slamming on the brakes, merging into you, willingly driving into you for no reason etc.
This is my edit to make the behavior more realistic, as I've found the default AI behavior to be rather immersion breaking at times, and downright frustrating. This mod was created on and will work with the 1.53 and 1.54 branch and will be continuously updated for new versions. Compatible with traffic density mods, and other mods can be higher in the load order than this one. Thanks and please let me know if you have any feedback :)

It's not at al unusual for an ai vehicle to come off a cloverleaf, and just keep going into the other half of it straight ahead of it, rather than merge into traffic? I see this, and things like coming off a diamond interchange, and then just crossing straight to the onramp, rather than turning left or right. Is this usual for unmodded behavior, or is it responding to the increased safety factor in the traffic_data file in this mod? Just curious if unmodded ai traffic does this, too...?

Agreed. I'm also still using the ETS2 version on 1.55 just grafting in the guts from this one

if ya wonder how your reflexes are about how fast can you stop latterly in reality know matter how you try it is always intimate crashes. Only your reflexes can or be reliable enough to ovoid it by seeing it coming. But not always crashes can be avoided. Unlike road rage it real and it happens so if ya are close to a vehicle try a two or three car cushion or more depending on your speed.

@Romarus that's the only situation I go for a shoulder lane undertake. If it's not available, sometimes I manage to slow down one of them with a gentle side nudge if I can come aside just close enough. It's fun ;)

@wymancaleb16 You really caught a nice detail. It didn't give me much confidence when I see small picture.
