I made the above video and I recently had a chance to try out one of those simulators they use for drivers' ed and it was pretty cool! I never took a drivers' ed course before so this was all new to me. The hardest part of the simulator was resisting the temptation to drive around like Grand Theft Auto.
Was it fun? yup! Would it make me a better driver? Maybe... It
does
allow your instructor to do fun things like make cars rear-end you, make pedestrians jump out in traffic or make your tire blow at will and these are things that are kinda hard to replicate in a safe real-world environment.
AND you can drive a first-gen Viper RT/10 in the sim. No idea why or how.

Oh, I kill pedestrians all the time in GTA. No big deal.

That's pretty neat. I'd love to try a simulator. Last year, I almost hit a pedestrian in real life, the drunk woman ran out into the street from between two parked cars and didn't look in my direction at all. I was only going about 30, but when I came to a stop the pedestrian was hanging over the hood of the car.
My heart was going *thunk thunk thunk*

Can you share the name of the software with us? I'd love to add it to my simulator line-up - my friends and I like to play drinking games with driving simulators. It's good fun!

I didn't get to use one of those in driver's ed. Damn Canadians.

I actually don't know the name of the simulator but I'd guess it's expensive. My friends and I like to track our lap times in GT6 as we get progressively more plastered.

I'm from NY actually, so there's a bit of a difference. :)

I'm interested in sim program like that so others could learn how to drive, they even are using a Logitech wheel like mine, meaning they are using pc's. closest program I've seen to this is "city car driving", made by a couple Russians, .
Also, Tim Danter was there, you're safe.
