GTAV is the most realistic driving simulator I've ever seen. The AI emulates your standard driver/pedestrian intelligence -flawlessly-. Every time someone swerves into my lane without warning and then shouts at me, or a pedestrian just runs out in front of me and flips me off, I'm left in awe that video game technology has advanced to such a state as to make fantasy indistinguishable from reality. We've made it bros, this is the future.

Are there any games where you can get a new car then pass out behind the wheel and veer off road?

Absolutely not. Not even with a wheel. Not on any level will video games help you learn to drive.

Nope. The lack of real feedback makes it impossible to learn how to drive from a simulation, you'll never have the complete understanding of how the body of the car moves in relation to your actions. The situation is so drastic that honestly that I'd sooner recommend learning how to drive a real car in order to correctly play simulations than the other way around.

You'll learn more about how to drive from riding a fucking bicycle on the street than playing video games.

I imagine a full on racing rig with realistic clutch could do it with the right software.

But unless you're an American, you're never going to learn anything from a game, and it'd be a million times cheaper to buy a shitbox and get any random idiot to sit in the passenger seat while you drive around a parking lot.

>racing rig

Driving on the road is NOT racing. No video game out there will help you learn how to drive.

You could buy this

And go put 1000 hours in to rfactor and still know absolutely fuck all and be totally unprepared to drive on the road.

I did that for a decade before getting the license.
I was perfectly fine with driving in traffic, but it was fucking HARD to unlearn ignoring road signs (speed limits, parking prohibitions, etc.)
The human brain is fucking great at filtering stuff which isn't important, so it stops existing completely. Then suddenly it is important again. I actually had to practice using some autism simulator to get rid of that habit.

I wish ETS guys made Taxi Driver simulator

Hey, Gran Turismo 3 helped me figure out how gear shifting worked back in the day

this. you'll also usually get a discount on car insurance if you show them proof you completed it

simulation racing games teach you how to use a manual transmission in racing.

but if you want to drive, find a school or something like that.
