The Complete Driving Simulation for your PC
Essential revision for ALL learner drivers!
Practical Simulator won’t replace essential on-the-road learning with your instructor, but it will provide you with a fully interactive training programme that guarantees the best mental preparation for your Test.
So how does it work? Practical Simulator is a computer-based training package containing 10 step-by-step modules that guide you through all the routines and manoeuvres you may be asked to perform during your Test. You can practice interactive 3D driving lessons as many times as you like, allowing you to focus on specific areas of weakness. When you’re ready, there’s even a virtual driving test to assess your readiness for the real thing.
