Plus i have saved all my family's life in a very dangerous situation which i beleive that was a gift manouver earned from similar situations in racing sims. Car behavior and tyre physics under extreme conditions can't be learned in real life unless taken a course. But Racing sims will absolutely teach you these, at least a bit. Of course idiot crash-go games will do no good for fresh brains but racing sims shouldn't be blamed.There are a few good sims around to choose for good. Regards.

I've never noticed my driving having been affected by video games, but you never know if somebody else is. I suppose it might help explain some of the "wonderful" young drivers we have in the UK! It’s an interesting theory.

While I still believe driving games do not cause irresponsible driving (as well as violent games do not cause violence), it still was an interesting reading. Thanks for pointing me to this paper.

Research is one thing but research transposition can be very misleading.
