The HUD provides you with visual information about the state of your truck. It looks more professional then in previous 18 WoS series now.
The upper HUD provides you usefull information about your bank account balance, legal status, cargo destination, and truck and trailer damage levels.
There is the bottom HUD on the screen showed only in other camera view than Cabin one. You can see all the main icons of the dashboard such as speedometer (mph/kph) with distance traveled in miles, tachometer with the current gear icon, fuel tank indicator, full-beam lights, normal lights, left and right blinker, hand brake and and motor brake icons.
It is not all you can see there. SCS Software give you more than before. There are new icons they provides you information about the braking system air pressure and water temperature.

As in real life, you must respect all traffic regulations.
The legal status is represented as a red bar. If you commit a traffic offense, such as driving in the wrong direction, running a red light, or crashing into another vehicle, then the red bar will grow. If you encounter the police with a red legal status, you may be fined for traffic offenses.
If you are lucky you will get only warning!
