You know you played too much ETS2/ATS when...

[Laqueesha]

...you swear never to buy a Lincoln MKT since they're always found broken-down on the side of the road.

...when you pass by IRL roadwork or cop cars and firetrucks at a car crash, you go "Hey, ATS/ETS2 random event!"

[bobgrey1997]

Never heard of an MKT, and not sure how they relate to the game.
For me, I think I've played too much ATS when I managed to start driving trucks in reality and found backing to be a fun a puzzle rather than a stressful situation.

@bobgrey1997 - The MKT is a Lincoln crossover, it shows up for like 99% of the broken-down car random events.

Anytime steam tells me I've played more than 20 hours in a week! I think that's not a hobby, that's a part time job!

Due to Covid lockdowns I'm working from home full time now, so I only drive my car a couple of times a week and I get confused by the buttons on my steering wheel, they're in a different place to the buttons on my gaming wheel!

[bobgrey1997]

I always get confused by steering wheels in cars. I'll go to flash a truck as "clear to merge" (my steering wheel has a button to do this), and now the radio is louder or I am going faster.
I've once reached for the engine brake while coasting to a stop, and accidentally shifted gears.
When I finally realize cars don't have a flash headlight button, I go to flash the brights, but then the windshield gets all covered in water.

...you fell asleep in front of the monitor, and suddenly woking up hearing big crash It happened to me so many times

...you move to Portugal, but chooses Leiria, which is a real life ETS2 where everyone drives like Nemiro on Twitch

[LATrucker]

... you visit a place you've been first to in ATS/ETS2 and compare the real world counterpart to the simulator and not the other way around
