Why do I keep getting caught speeding?

I am playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 and driving around doing the Quick Jobs because I've only just started and don't have enough money to purchase my own truck. As it is a simulator there are speed limits on all of the roads and speed cameras placed. Many times I have been in a road marked as national speed limit zone indicated by a white circle with a black line through it but I've been given a speeding ticket for doing 55mph

edit: as an additional example, I just got a speeding ticket on the motorway for doing 55mph as well!

What am I doing wrong?

Solution 1:

55 mph is the speed limit for trucks in most European countries. What you are doing wrong is speeding. You can see the full list for speed limits in the Wikipedia article for speed limit.

Here are some examples:

• Germany: 80-100 kph (49-62 mph)
• Italy: 70-80 kph (43-49 mph)
• Poland: 70-80 kph (43-49 mph)
• Austria: lorries with heavy trailer - 80 kph (49 mph)
• Spain: 70-90 kph (43-55.9 mph)

Solution 2:

You're doing nothing wrong! There are usually white coloured boards warning about cameras ahead, after that, slow the truck down till you pass a cube like thing on the road, that's the camera. Once you pass it, you're fine! Usually the camera warnings are with speed limit boards before them, so you know how much to speed it down.
