The Virtual Driving Simulator section of "Rules of the Road" is a revolutionary use of DVD that allows the student to practice driving in a virtual environment. Using the point-of-view of the driver, the student must navigate through busy streets, highways, and intersections and make realtime decisions. An excellent way to supplement driver education at school or prepare for your driver's test.

Follow Jon, Aaron, Elizabeth, and Alex (with a little help from their parents) as they learn all the basics of driving through seven interactive driving lessons. Watch and interact as they explore safety tips for normal driving conditions, investigate procedures for handling hazardous conditions, and receive information regarding drug and alcohol awareness. Helpful hints written out across the screen reinforce what is being spoken. Multiple choice quizzes at the end of every section test your teen's knowledge. Many Sections are explained further with the use of very high quality 3D animation that is viewable from 3 different angles that may be selected by the viewer.

To a new driver, nothing seems as daunting as merging into highway traffic. Merging, exiting, changing lanes, passing, and dealing with large vehicles on the highway are all discussed. Also covered are such topics as slow-poke driving, road rage, panic, speeding, tailgating, cell phones, defensive driving, wearing a seat belt, driving through construction zones, techniques to avoid highway hypnosis, and more.
