This mod makes the in-game driving experience a little more realistic.
Here Is An Outline Of What Has Changed (NOTE: Points With A # Symbol Indicate Something Is Not Yet Implemented):

DEFINITIONS
✔ Cargo
✔ Cargo and trailer combinations reworked.
✔ Inspired by LAFAYET47’s Ownable Cargo Market Rework mod. Consider mine the ‘lite’ version of his.
✔ Cargo not requiring a cold-temperature climate will no longer use refrigerated trailers.
✔ Some exposed cargo transported by Flatbed trailers can now be transported via Sliding Tarp trailers.
✔ Vehicles
✔ The following vehicles are removed from traffic as they are not found in the United States.
✔ Ford S-Max
✔ Mercedes C-Class Estate
✔ All AI cars, trucks, and buses have realistic acceleration and top speed behavior.
✔ For every car, engine power and weights have been carefully researched. Each car will accelerate differently. The primary source of information is “automobile-catalog.com”.
✔ Top speed for every car is based on either factory tire specifications, a set speed limiter by the manufacturer, or a theoretical calculation from “automobile-catalog.com”.
✔ Top speed for all cars towing trailers in California is 55 MPH (plus 10% speeding allowance).
✔ Top speed for every semi-truck varies according to certain configurations and conditions.
✔ Top speed for all buses is 75 MPH.
✔ In traffic, there is more variety of trailers (empty and loaded).
✔ The following Combination Vehicles (CV) are added…

✔ Rocky Mountain Doubles.

SOUND
# AI
# Car, truck, and train sounds are emitted based on engine specifications.
# Example: If you see a Tesla, you’ll hear a hint of electricity powering it.
# Horn sounds for both cars and trucks have changed.
# Police sirens are replaced with more realistic-sounding ones (recorded from Whelen 295SL100 device).
# Environment
# Bad Spring/Summer/Fall Weather
# Rainfall is slightly louder, noticeable during heavy precipitation.
# Feel Thor’s Power Through Your Speakers With Better Thunder Sounds!
# Bad Winter Weather
# When it is snowing, all you can hear is the sound of air (wind).
# Mover
# Sounds have been added to various movers such as flags, commercial airliners, and even the F-22 Raptor. Some sounds such as the helicopter have been improved.

I hope you all have a better driving experience with this mod.
