Virtual Driving School

Virtual Driving School is a driving simulator built around lessons, practice drives, quizzes and career modes. You learn manoeuvres and traffic systems, then practise on city streets, rural roads and motorways in different weather and visibility conditions. Its lessons are designed as short scenarios lasting 1–3 minutes, and you can retry them without a limit.

Lessons and practice

The game includes over 30 lessons across several categories:

• Basics: setup, controls, gears, moving off, turning, pulling up on the left or right, blind bends and hill starts.
• Traffic systems: traffic lights, zebra and controlled crossings, box junctions, junctions, priority rules and roundabouts.
• Speed, stopping and parking: 20 mph zones, dual carriageways and national speed limits.

Practice Drives put you on set routes with live hazards, including pedestrians, parked obstacles and unpredictable traffic. The goal is to reach the end cleanly. In Quizzes, routes pause for progressively harder questions about road knowledge, with a final score at the end.

Career modes

You can take on work as a delivery driver in a points-based mode or as a taxi driver judged by a five-star rating. Reach destinations on time and drive cleanly to raise your score, or lose points for poor performance.

Traffic and driving conditions

The game features pedestrians, realistic traffic AI and signage, as well as temporary roadworks, box junctions, crossings, level crossings, lane control and motorway incidents. Hazard Avoidance scenarios train you to respond to situations such as cars pulling out from behind lorries, reckless overtakes, sudden stops and dangerous drivers.

Drive in left- or right-hand-drive configurations, with corresponding mirror views, lane flow and junction priority. Conditions include day and night, rain and fog, as well as wet or icy grip that changes stopping distances. Vehicle choices range from compact cars and family sedans to vans, each with distinct visibility, weight and braking feel.

Locations

The launch regions are Conway, Cairnloch and San Jose. Locations from the UK, US, Europe and Asia are also described as part of the game’s world.

Controls and displays

Choose Arcade, Intermediate or Expert presets, or customise the controls, including automatic or easy gears, clutch, handbrake and headlights. The game supports clutch control, hill starts and gear-shift driving, as well as steering wheels and pedals, keyboard and mouse, and controllers.

It also supports full VR and combines up to five displays with NVIDIA Surround. Multiple camera views can show a head view, the area behind the vehicle, wing mirrors, rearview mirrors and side windows at the same time. Head tracking with surround screens is also supported.
