For the problem in "18 Wheels of Steel American Long Haul" when clicking on "Manage drivers" freezes the game, there are many suggestions out there such as "Check video drivers" and "re-install the game", but in my case none of these solved the problem.
After further investigation, I have found the problem is caused by the following:- If you click on "Manage Drivers" between 12:00am and 12:59am in-game time it always crashes. This appears to be because the driver's log data for that day does not get created until 1:00am in-game time.
So the workaround is, if the in-game is between 12:00am and 12:59am then you must use the notebook to advance time by just one hour. Once the in-game time has gone past 1am, you will find that you can then enter "Manage Drivers" without it crashing the entire game. This is because at least one hour of log data exists and the "driver's log" graph for the current day can be generated without causing a crash.
Would be nice to see a patch for this. :)
I hope that helps somebody!
Drivers can avoid car crashes by paying attention while driving and following driving laws, not driving while impaired and by having their vehicles checked and inspected regularly. Drivers should always be looking around them, particularly in their blind spots and should always be obeying local speed limits. Using appropriate signaling and yielding to pedestrians and city vehicles (ambulances, fire trucks, police cars) can also help prevent car crashes.
Two-thirds of all motor vehicle fatalities between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m. occurred in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes, and more than half (55%) of drivers involved in fatal crashes at those hours, were alcohol-impaired.
That's a common myth. In reality, drunken drivers are more likely themselves and their passengers than anyone else.
No all the meals are delivered by volunteer drivers. In some areas the drivers are given a token sum of money for the petrol they have used. It all depends on the sponsors for the area that your local meals on wheels is in. In my area we are lucky and get a small amount of money to help cover the fuel we use. In some countries this not always the case, so they still do the deliveries out of their own pocket.
ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) crashes are almost always caused by human error. There is a slight chance the ATV itself will be defective, but generally speaking ATV crashes are due to the drivers negligence on some level. The most common types of driver errors are - children operating an adult sized ATV, driving an ATV with a passenger on the back, general reckless driving, and driving in unsafe weather conditions.
Wheels are round now and have always been round.
Yes, yes they do they always did!!
I think cars have always normally had four wheels.
None. It does not need wheels. It always takes off vertically. There are some helicopters w/ wheels and they have about 3 wheels. No more than 5.

No they don't always have different sized wheels. If you have a 'Super' model you would have different sized wheels, if you have 'Standard' model they would all be the same.
Ciruclar wheels have less friction with the ground as contact is always a single tangetial point.
