Safe and defensive driving is what Driver's Education is all about. Users will learn the basics and will get special lessons in subjects ranging from parallel parking to alcohol awareness. All of this will be done with the help of Driver "Ed," the most unique driving instructor on or off the road. After gaining a permit in the virtual classroom, users will hit the streets of the Virtual City and get a realistic feel for driving a car. This realistic feel comes from a new three dimensional technology developed by Dynamix in Eugene, OR. For parents and driving instructors, this program will provide an important, safe and timesaving tool, not to mention a little peace of mind. This unique product also fills an important void created by financial cuts to driver's education curriculums across the nation. Driver's Education is a program that provides a comprehensive set of lesson plans and tests concerning motor vehicle laws and rules of the road in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Beginning drivers and those brushing up on the "rules of the road," can now test their driving knowledge without waiting in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
