    Atari UK Announces Driving Theory Training For Exam Prep

    The British arm of publisher Atari has announced Driving Theory Training, an upcoming Nintendo DS title that lets players study and practice driving theory and highway laws.

    Atari says the title is intended to help learners with provisional licenses (equivalent to a U.S. learner's permit) study and simulate the actual test, and help them prepare to get a driver's license.

    Atari says Driving Theory Training will feature the full driving theory questions and answer test officially licensed by the Driving Standards Agency. Players can also use mini games, graphs and quizzes related to vehicles and code laws.

    Atari UK managing director Jeremy Wigmore commented, “Knowing the rules of the road and the highway-code is vital part of driving and passing your theory test. Atari UK have been striving to replicate the driving theory exam in an educational and informative application. We hope this title will help people learn everything they need to know to successfully pass their driving theory test."

    An innovative idea, but I do not own a DS, lol.

    I think that game is useful only to the British, it should be pretty useless in other parts of the world.

    Well I don't know about the test overseas. But if you need that much help to pass it here in America you don't deserve to drive.

    Yeah the test over here in the states asks questions like...

    If you are approaching a curve do you...

    A. Speed up
    B. Continue to go straight
    C. Slam on breaks endangering cars traveling behind you
    D. Slow down safely, follow the curve, and coming out of the curve increase speed to within the speed limit.



    It's pretty ******ed.

    I don't know where you live but here in Carolina Driver's Education is paid for by the state (it's free for all students).

    Oh and NinjaDude I've read the first two quotes straight from my driver's ed manual but didn't see the last one. very nice...

    There was also a quote in mine about changing tires and it was like, don't change your tire in the middle of the road because cars might be approaching, instead pull safely to the shoulder.

    It's so stupid the things they say sometimes but I do have to admit I wasn't 100% on the traffic light rules before driver's ed.
