Driving instruction video games?
I am looking for a video game for a home pc that teaches
people to drive. An instructional driving simulator. Ideally, I would like a game that takes the player through a series of on-road driving lessons and then a driving test, and includes such things as having to remember to do a shoulder check, signal, etc. before changing lanes, reduce/increase speed according to posted speed limits, enter highways correctly, etc. The player would have to click corresponding buttons or keyboard keys in correct sequence to simulate shoulder check, turning signal, etc. The computerized instructor/examiner would keep a running tally of errors. Hopefully, this would be done in exact accordance with the state/provincial standards for each players durisdiction. The player would set the correct settings for his home address and the lessons and tests would automatically correspond to his durisdiction. The recommended hardware would be a pc-game steering wheel and pedal accessory to closely simulate driving. Does anyone know of a game like this? the closest I have found so far was a u.k.-based game called drivingtestsuccess and an american site called road-ready teens, (software designed by either General Motors or Ford or Chrysler) |

Don't worry... the Germans drive better than we Canadians do, so you'll be well ahead of the curve with this program :-) Stephen ------------ And now a word from our sponsor ------------------ Do your users want the best web-email gateway?
