AFTER 2 YEARS OF TESTING THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING SIMULATORS IN THE CLASSROOM, I HAVE DECIDED THAT THE GLORIFIED VIDEO GAMES DO NOT BENEFIT THE NEW DRIVER!
I have cancelled the simulator program as I feel a lesson in a parking lot benefits the new driver way more then sitting in front of a simulator. The issues of the simulator is that a new driver did not experience the feeling of driving. On a simulator, you can give it gas in a corner but we know that in a car in a parking lot, you would feel the "G" forces but not on the simulator. And to get into a car instead of behind the "glorified video game", in my professional opinion, the behind the wheel in a parking lot has help new drivers much more. Depending on your situation, I will ask a new driver and a parent to meet me at the Thunder Bay Auditorium. We work on basic skills like eye, hand and foot coordination and slide recovery. And as a BONUS, that lesson is recorded, they can go home and review the skills that needs to be worked on.
I can say I tried but nothing beats behind the wheel with a professional!
I will be keeping one as it's a great racing game with the 3 screens! But for educational reason, no thanks!
Want to spend some time behind a driving simulator? You came to the right place. TheDrivingSchool.ca will be offering students of the course the opportunity to spend some time behind the wheel of a simulator.
Here are only a few of the many advantages to sit behind a simulator:
How does it work? Well when you sign up, you will have the option of signing up for a basic course or a course with times behind the simulator. Don't worry, if you signed up and decide after that you want the simulator package, we will accommodate you.
We will have one in operation in the very near future. We are planning on having 4 fully functioning simulators by the summer. Two with 3 screens and two with a single screen. We will be the only driving school in Thunder Bay with FOUR simulators.
Keep checking the website for additional information and pricing.
*this is not part of the curriculum offered by TheDrivingSchool.ca, this is extra and beyond the course. It will only get better until my headache goes away and I pay off my bill from the headache!
Here are only a few of the many advantages to sit behind a simulator:
- Work on basic driving skills without using up valuable time of in-car training
- Challenge yourself on more advance stages
- Test your reaction time
- How about simulated drunk driving? We can do that safely! (don't worry, NO alcohol is involved)
- Winter driving/skid control
- And you think you can text and drive? Try it out in a controlled situation!
