How does time pass in Euro Truck Simulator 2?
When you take out a loan, it is due daily. So how exactly does time pass in ETS2 and does the method how it passes affect delivery offers too?
Does it only pass when driving or also when you are chilling in the menu? Since I cannot spot a clock in the menu, this is not obvious to figure out.

tl;dr: driving makes time pass 5x compared (30sec) to standing still(2.5min).
I timed it at multiple speeds, seems 10 minutes game time takes two and a half minutes real time at standstill, if you are driving 10 minutes game time passes in just 30 seconds, 5 times as fast. don't know if it slows further if you stand still for longer. Or exactly what happens if you drive in a very tight circle, at first it seemed the 30 seconds later 2.5 minutes

Answer 2
Seems to me that time is NOT passing when you are stationary on the street (es. At traffic light, or just idle in the street). That time pass very slow when you are on urban street, and faster on the highway. I guess, but not sure, that time passing is connected with your speed.
