I saw an ad on the window of a driving school where they are offering simulator driving lesson before actual lesson. I think it's an innovative way. The trainee will get to practice virtual driving first before he/she gets on the road.
I think it is a really cool idea. I already have my license but a part of me wants to see if they will let me test out the simulator just so I can see what it is all about and how it compares to real driving.
