No, not a golf fundraising event, but a virtual driving school!

Anyways, i've enrolled and tonight is my first session. Should be fun. All insurance comapnies are supposed to recognize this course if you have comppleted it and offer 200-700 $ in saving on insurance. I'm a new driver, and a male under 25 so i'll need all deductions i can get!
Here's a CBC news video clip on it too: http://www.driveforlife.ca/about/news/2005.05.13.php
did you check with your insurance company first? that could, after all, be just a claim by that organization... for example, if you take a 5-hour, insurance companies respect that, but what they don't tell you is that you have to have a state-issued certificate saying you took and passed the 5-hour course...
Might be a bit of shock when you get into a real car to take your test though ;)
ya, i'm on my parents insurance. 30% off is what they said.
Actually, i can drive already, just wanted this 'extra practice'
It was like a big arcade game! i started laughing when i was driving. Asked my trainer guy how much each machine costs: 100 grand US. whewww!
Makes plenty of sense... I mean, simulators are in rather widespread use for flight training; using them for drivers seems logical.
well, in some places it just makes more sense... afterall, 10,000 feet is a long way to fall, and a nuclear meltdown is not something you want to 'simulate' on a real reactor :DQuote:

I think i paid about the same to sit in a class room and drive a neon for the same purpose :(Quote:
