Abstract

A system and software provides driver training so that a student driver may gain knowledge and experience for passing a driver'"'"'s license exam as well as allowing a new driver to gain years of experience as well as increasing older drivers instincts and reflexes. The program comprises a game mode, an eye testing station, a driver'"'"'s safety video, a written test, a driving simulation mode, an actual driving test by the state or county, and a vehicle selection mode.

Claims

1. A driver training system for complete simulation and practice of driving and driver testing, the system comprising:

a breathalyzer test to reduce drunk driving accidents and road fatalities;

an eye testing station having a digital reader enables the user to undergo an actual eye test prior to taking an actual vision test to obtain a drivers license;

a driver safety video by a user'"'"'s choice state Department of Transportation;

a drug, and alcohol testing video training to educate drivers in safe driving;

selection of state, city, county, and country where actual testing will take place;

selection of a vehicle and license class;

a seat belt control requires a user to buckle up a seat belt in order to activate the system;

a global positioning satellite (G.P.S) game mode comprising using a G.P.S. program to simulate an actual roadway at a selected location and further comprising programmed driving conditions carrying out enforcement of state and country driving laws including tickets and driving points issued for not following chosen state driving laws, wherein driver safety, defensive driving, and simulation hours of training are the main focus, and an electronic tamper proof pass/fail point system;

an actual written test by state or country electronically graded and include a pass or fail electronic no tampering grading system;

a written test converted into a driving simulator comprising an actual 3D street type driving program by selection of state, city, county to produce a simulation of the actual location of the real driving test and utilizing a pass/fail point system taking into account applicable laws to the state chosen and other driving road conditions and hazardous situations encountered in driving;

a global positioning satellite (G.P.S) testing simulation mode comprising using a G.P.S. program to simulate an actual driver testing location for a user to practice driving over the testing location;

a program providing point by point instruction about the actual driving test;

thereby enabling a user to simulate actual diving experiences while gaining years of defensive driving experience prior to actually driving.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising a stand-alone vehicle replica with all features and operational functions of a real vehicle interconnected with a global positioning satellite program and screen and modern to simulate driving on actual roadways as well as a memory card to repeat pass performance.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the driving conditions comprise at least one of the following conditions including hazardous roadway conditions, hazardous roadway situations including aggressive and in-experienced drivers, inside vehicle distractions, and different climate conditions.

4. The system of claim 4 wherein the inside vehicle distractions comprise teenagers driving with other teenagers, adjusting radio stations, changing CDs, eating, and talking on cell phones.
