  • Would my GT5 Steering wheel work for this program?

  • DRIVE THAT CAR IN THE GAME GTA STYLE!

  • UK all day

  • lol Hazard (police car) haha

  • I think it would be a really good idea to update this software and make it available with a steering wheel and pedals so it is more like rea life and maybe you could involve more of the 'what would you do in this situation?' questions. When you find someone next to you on the road not payin attention to the highway rules...How do you deal with their behaviour? It could save lives.

  • Does anyone know what order the pre drive checks are on this I have tried all ways none works please help will appreciate it thanks

  • SimuRide - Driving Simulator" is an interactive, three dimensional computer program that allows users to experience driving in a safe and controlled environment.

  • Need a Usa version of this!!!!

  • wow the police cars are vauxhall omegas sweeeeet thay were the kiddie back in the day definately the 3.2 mv6 ones :-)

  • i think it woud be more benifishul if there was some thing like this on xbox and play station becacse im bilding simulater set up and i some times just stick to normal driving speeds rarther than racing all the time in games like test drive unlimited and forza motorsport it woud be exerlint to have that espesherly baced in england

  • Why not make a motorcycle on? Me and my other half are going for our motorcycle licence and would be fun and a big help to.How about it? ^_^

  • i need this im turning 15 and a half plz send me link

  • @billy15ify ... it clearly says you have to order it online. lol.

  • this one is the only one that iv found thats on the right side of the road in australia so hard trying to find one for australia

  • are people who are going to drive in like 5 years allowed to use this

  • @MrDylanfisher of course!

  • It should have been updated for the 2012 package I bought, a simple button assignment would have been nice so I can use xpadder to map the buttons to my wheel or joypad.

    I arent fussed about the graphics or sound but I am fussed on faulty controls where it says I didnt follow instruction even though i did or the fact that I use methods taught to me by my instructor, hire some bedroom programmers to fix the software.

    AT LEAST RELEASE A MOD THAT MEANS WE CAN OVERRIDE THE DAMN JOYPAD/WHEEL BUTTONS!

  • It's something like these simulators air pilots use in their air craft tests, why don't DSA apply this rather than human examiners cos I think they can be biased at times after all this vid shows that the technology is available!

  • DOes my DFGT work on this?

  • Guys

    I download this game on BitTorent

    BUt i wanna know

    Do i have the option to use my DFGT on it?

  • how can I download this?

  • I have a mock test in 3 minutes :S

    Not too positive about it 

  • @screamolives good luck!

  • @screamolives awh hope you did well :L

  • @screamolives

    Did you pass ?

  • @onupomr Driving Test Success Practical Simulator is compatible with Windows 7. You can buy a copy from all good high street retailers who stock PC software or online from Amazon, Play etc. Hope this helps.

  • amazing after using this i found the theory of what it teaches you is all you need to drive. 70 percent of driving is mental and only the other 30 percent is physical. theoretically the mental side is identical. the only difference is the physical part.

  • Will you make a version that is compatible with pedals of a steering wheel?

  • @champ459 sorry we have no plans to launch an updated version.

  • @THRILLERMJ it supports the steering wheel but none of the other gubbins

  • you could make a left side simulator

  • @eivis13 we only cover the UK driving test and we drive on the left over here. There are no plans to release a version for other territories I'm afraid.

  • is it available on XBOX 360

  • @lionsexlover sorry, PC only

  • amazing. theoretically this gives you all the mental knowledge needed to carry otu the manouvers on the test. considering majority of driving is mental rather than physical with simulators you don't even need lessons. all you gotta do is sit down

  • @1982FMJ we're not claiming that you can use this product alone to pass your practical driving test! The Driving Standards Agency advises around 45 hours of practice with a professional driving instructor and around 20 hours of private practice with friends and/or family. Practical Sim can be used to refresh and revise in between your driving lessons, and to prepare you for the big day - it should never be considered a substitute for real life lessons...

  • @DrivingTestSuccess if you need 45 hours of lessons and 20 hours with friends/family to pass your test, please leave your car at home.

  • Can you use steering wheels?

  • @champ459 yes you can, but it doesn't support pedals

  • can i use one of those logitech steering wheels ??

  • @360kal lol it not a game (GTA)

  • hey you are on the wrong side of the road!!!

  • @pkrames we drive on the left in the UK - this product is designed for the UK driving test :-)

  • Hi guys I got my 1st driving lesson on Wednesday and my 1st theory test, i've been revising for the theory test and i've pasted 5 theory test papers in a row and, I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what type of questions you get?

  • Well as you don't have a 'demo' to download and i just happen to think this is a brilliant product, this clip will get posted as a link off my website. Hopefully, more people will get it and be better drivers for as a result!

  • @pbsolo121 thank you :-)

  • Your products are very good. Help me pass first time on both theory and practical!!! Thank you.

  • @jennymar glad to hear it - we do aim to please!

  • @jennymar you're welcome, thanks for letting us know :-)

  • can you actually used a steering wheel rather than using the keyboard?

  • @ady0211 yes Practical Simulator supports a PC steering wheel (though not pedals)

  • PLEASE HELP! i got 3 points on my moped ages ago, now just got another 3 points today, i now have 6 which means i can't drive? I only have a provisinal license for a car and my mum was with me when i got caught speeding and the letter came through the post, my test is booked for monday, is there any point taking it? as i'll have it taken away anyway as u can't have 6 points with a license under 3 years correct? Any info is apreciated!

  • If you want to chage seat to left you just need to look at your monitor in a mirror.

  • Can i use a steering wheel such as a logitec g25 or a microsoft side winder pro? And if i can will it support gearing and the cluch on a logitec g25?

  • DECENT graphics but HEY, they didnt spend a year and 25000 people like mw2 so i aint gonna complain. What i dont like is the realism. More pedestrians, more cars, more random accidents, etc...

    hopefully they ship to Canada cause im gonna order one just for the hell of it! :D

  • 19.99 pounds!? woaaw thats light!

  • can you change the steering wheel position to the left

  • @karldarren unfortunately not, the product is only designed for use by UK road users.

  • @DrivingTestSuccess UK or Australia ;)

  • Is it compatible with mac?

  • @mcconnachiea unfortunately not. For a mac compatible product, you'll need to check out our Driving Test Success All Tests Interactive DVD product, available on our website, focusmm.co.uk.

  • @mcconnachiea sorry it's PC only

  • where you can download demo?

  • @mland1231 unfortunately we don't have a demo or a downloadable version, due to file sizes. The disc version is available from our website, focusmm.co.uk.

  • where can i download it ?

  • @sherifbatawy Driving Test Success Practical Simulator isn't currently available as a download. You can purchase the PC DVD-ROM from the Focus Multimedia website.

  • who the hell drives that slowly?

  • @Alexandru017 this software is aimed at educating learner drivers, so learning the skills needed to drive a car are the most important factor.

  • can i pick this up frm asda

  • @john45344 I don't think ASDA stock it, but you might like to try your local Halfords who should have Driving Tests Success Practical Simulator in stock.

  • Im sure my dad gonna need this one. he will maybe get more pupils.

  • if World Racing 2 had such traffic and pedestrians it would be the best simulation game!

    Wonder if you can play this with a Genius steering wheel?

  • My graphics card can't get past 15 fps on this game with all settings on low.

    It's a dual 9800GTX on a core i7 920...

  • can i use my logitech g25 to your software? how much your software? i live in the philippines!

  • @olecramwin it works with just about any PC steering wheel (but it doesn't support pedals). The suggested retail price is £19.99 and we do ship to the Philippines if you buy from our website (drivingtestsuccess-dot-co-dot­-uk)

  • how about driving in the usa? cus last time i checked we dont drive on the left side of the road

  • @FunnyGuy5051 hi there, sorry but this software is designed for driving tests taken in the UK only...just don't ask me why we choose to drive on a different side of the road to everyone else! ;-)

  • I like the way hes explaining that it shows things like, crossings, roundabouts etc etc and then explains a police car as a Hazzard lol, to right its a hazzard to see a police car, before ya know it ya been slammed with 6 points and a fine for picking ya conk whilst driving.

  • does it support PC steering wheels? i hope so.

  • @tarcal87 yes you can use pretty much any PC steering wheel but if you have pedals then they're not utilised. Instead, pedals are operated using the mouse.

  • can i use my logitech g25 for this software?

  • wHERE can i download a demo of it i think ofg buying ity but first want to try out

  • Ooo this is nice.

  • It's a very good bit of software, gets your brain ready for the real thing.

  • @BVargas78 thanks for your kind comment. I hope Practical Simulator helps you pass your test. :-)

  • If there are no pedals - how do you get the car (in the simulation) to speed up or slow down?

  • @JimboParadox you use the mouse. This might not sound as realistic as using pedals, but in fact the emphasis is on learning to perform drills in the right order rather than the mechanics, for example finding the biting point of your clutch pedal (although the software does include videos that demonstrate things like this).

  • Lol at cop car passing; "Hazards" LMAO ^^

  • This'd be practical if the simulator came with a steering wheel controller. Might make my kid not want to learn from me though.

  • Well...you can tell it's for England not only because the steering wheel is on the right. But also because even in a dry weather the sky is cloudy...

  • awesome. im in UK. should be taking my drivers test in a couple of years. this'll help me get started ;)

  • this driving simulator is great and you can learn to drive on a 3d world.

  • Don't forget to check out our website for the latest products to help you pass your Theory, Hazard Perception and Practical Driving Tests: drivingtestsuccess-dot-co-dot-­uk.

  • Did he just say that cops are "hazards"?

  • Lol. Anyone know of a similar software like this. Just so I have variety.

    I already fried 3D driving simulator.

  • yeah it is a hazard coz the police lights were flashing.

  • How much memory do you need to run this sim???

  • 512MB (or 1GB for Vista).

  • where to download this game

  • Driving Test Success Practical Simulator is not available as a download due to the large file size, but you can buy it on PC DVD-ROM from focusmm-dot-co-dot-uk. We ship worldwide.

  • @DrivingTestSuccess are you guys still living in 2005? now you can host your files on bigdownload or another service that accept large files (; also what happens if you hit pedestrians, are there any effect? I know not game. but would be fun to have it as simulation and game too (;

  • @undocumentedspot you make a valid point and we will be making a downloadable version available soon at drivingtestsuccess.co.uk. Beware though, it's going to be a few gigabytes in size so it will only be for those with very fast broadband connections! :-)

  • @DrivingTestSuccess that will be great . thanks (;

    note, even though with slower connection, they can use a download manager software but they have to wait for some time. but for me it will be fast, depends on your server or if you use bigdownload, bigdownload is very fast.

  • how do i get my wheel and pedals to work with this, there doesn't seem to be anywhere to set them up.

  • It will work with a steering wheel but not pedals. If you have any problems getting your wheel to work, try contacting Focus Multimedia's technical support at focusmm-dot-co-dot-uk

  • thank you

  • This is driving aid with no use pedals? Ok so how to move & stop the car please? I like this but no pedals, really?

  • can you choose whether to have the steering wheel on the left or on the right? Since I don't live in the UK.

  • Sorry there's just a UK version, so you can only have the steering wheel on the right.

  • WHAAAT!? Why is that wheel on the right side of that car?

  • It's designed for UK learner drivers. We drive on the left -hand side of the road (we like to be different!)  ;o)

  • IN Malaysia.. its in right side too.. ahah

  • cos its for england !

  • How do you acsess the virtual driving test in the 2009 edition

  • Hi there, I think you mean the virtual driving test in Driving Test Success ALL TESTS, in which case you're looking for a video-based tutorial which you'll find in the Practical section of that product. The video on this web page shows Driving Test Success Practical Simulator in action. It's a different product which allows you to "drive" the car yourself in a 3D world, taking lessons from a virtual driving instructor.

  • Thankfully it's my birthday this friday(24 th july) and i asked my dad to get this for me for my birthday

  • Be great if they could get this for heavy trucks (semi, b-double etc.).. the only drawback is the gear changing and extra controls

  • I've heard that pedals don't work, you might as well play it with a joystick, leave the wheel for realistic driving simulator/games like RACE from simbin

  • it work with a joystick or the keyboard

  • cool

  • You can drive as fast or as slow as you want. You cannot use pedals and gear sticks it is only keyboard and or mouse. Overall it is an ok simulator.

  • Is there the Lazy-American setting, cause I am a left side driver... I'd get really confused on the right side!!!

  • In the demo in this video, it looks so slow, is that the real speed of the simulator?

  • drive a bit with a camera on your dash, then play it back on the pc.. it looks just as slow. If you are used to driving on racing games then this will appear to be painfully slow to drive in.

  • Can the logitech G25 be used in this ???

  • Yes it can

  • Hi anyone having problems installing the practical simulator in vista, becouse when i click install nothing happens?

  • can you use pedals and a gear stick for this simulator. please help i am desperate my instructor doesn't want to teach me no more and has given up hope on me and my test is in 2 weeks..... HELP!!!!

  • were in the uk u liv i got a good intructor

  • It sounds like you need a new instructor....

  • how do you get the practical simulator up, all it says on here is Theory test Hazard Test Practical Highway code Show me tell me mock driving test road signs test learn on the go theory test book and advice center.
  • Hi there. It sounds like you have the Driving Test Success ALL TESTS product which has driving lesson video tutorials. Driving Test Success Practical Simulator is a separate product. Use discount code DTSFREEPOST at focusmmcouk to get free shipping (UK customers only).

  • It's probably the mock driving test one

  • Can I use a Steering wheel? And is it possible to change the side of road?

  • Hi. Most PC steering wheels should work with it but aren't supported by Focus. You can't use pedals though. Practical Simulator only lets you drive on the left of the road as it's aimed at UK learner drivers.

  • Hi, yes Driving Test Success Practical Simulator works in Windows Vista.

  • this looks good. does it work on windows vista?

  • Yes it works on Vista. :o)

  • How can i change the car controls ? :|

  • Hello. You have to use the default controls, there's no option to change them.

  • Thanks for your kind comments Max. :o)

  • Absolutely Awesome! I'm sure this software will be highly successful. Excellent graphics and an obvious purchase for learner drivers; or for anyone who wishes to improve. I congratulate the programmers / designers!

  • im sure i have that but i dont have the driving simulator on it i dont think ?

    but all the videos it showed u i have those videos on it does that i mean i have the simulator ?

  • Hi Aidan, it sounds like you have Driving Test Success ALL TESTS. You're right, it has the video tutorials but not the interactive driving simulator which is available separately. Hope this helps?

  • Will this work with the logitech g25 and the H shifter?

  • yeah it does help thanks it helped so much i passed my theory test and my driving test today first time .

  • lol i was wondering why the steering wheel was on the right til i read on the right "for UK customers only". and the dude had a british accent

  • Does it work with the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel, Gear Stick and 3 Pedals?

    Also will it take advantage of 3 or 5 monitors and any pictures of this if so?

  • nice

  • so you can drive in left side traffic counties, is there a options for right-left driving, or its for genius english people...

  • The title is Driving Test Success Practical Simulator. Due to the large file sizes (it includes a lot of video) then there is no download version but you can purchase it on PC DVD-ROM from Amazon UK or direct from focusmm-dot-co-dot-uk. It is also available as part of The Complete Learner Driver Kit.

  • I should add that it's not a game, it's a learning tool for people who are serious about passing their practical driving test in the UK. :-)

  • omg i love this product...beilive it or not a while back i was thinking that someone should design some kind of at home driving lesson/test software...i did not know it existed...id love to get this...but i dnt feel confident buying online is there a store i can go to somewhere localy Beds...?

  • Hi there. You could try your local PC World, WH Smith or Halfords. If you try their websites then they should have a list of stores and their phone numbers, so you can find one that's local to you and check if it's in stock (I'd recommend that you ask them to put one under the counter for you).

  • ok...if i go to the stores and its not there how would i use the discount code online becouse i went on the website and there were no instructions for how to use the code. Also if i go to the stores and find it there would i b able to use the dis code in-store? ^U^

  • The discount code for free postage (DTSFREEPOST) is only valid on the Focus Multimedia website. Just add the product to the shopping basket, then you'll see a box at the top right called "Discount Coupon". Put the DTSFREEPOST code in there, then click on "Submit" and you'll see that your £2 postage charge has been changed to zero.

  • The Focus website is at focusmm-dot-co-dot-uk. I have to type it out like this because Youtube doesn't like us linking to URLs. Hope this helps. :o)

  • Donde se puede comprar o descargar

    When i can buy our dowloand this game?

  • how much is that game and whats it called

  • This is realy helpful but i`m not from GB:(i must have this game but with wheel on the left..

  • I've just purchased this. I need all the help I can get. I feel like I'll be a nervous wreck on both the theory and practical exams!

  • where did you buy it from? pls help

  • I'm not blaming you guys for providing this video or anything, but I think it's honestly stupid, the legislation about driving, that is.

    We all live in the 21st century, many of the laws and codes we follow in the highway code are many centuries old and are written with cars from the 60s, 70s and 80s in mind. You can fail on such stupid things (such as applying the handbrake when stopped on a perfectly level surface), and are forced to drive dangerously (shuffling the wheel, for one)

    xD

  • consider this....applying the handbrake on a level surface has nothing to do with rolling on a hill....if you stop at a crossing or junction and you get shunted from behind what do you think will happen?

  • Centuries old? The first automobile was made in 1896. How the hell does that make sense?

  • gt 5 proluoge is my driving test simulator...lol..this is cool tho=]

  • HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Exactly. I used Test Drive Unlimited, the original Driver and the public tarmac roads in Ulster, IoM and Jim Clark Rally in Mobil 1 Rally Championship as practice for my real driving.............a low real-road speeds of course!!!

  • I think you can download the demo.I'm not sure if this is what you can download the demo for though it might be a different program.

  • wow im buying that right now

  • I want that simulator game

  • You can buy the boxed product from focusmm-dot-co-dot-uk. There is no download available because it's several gigabytes in size (it comes on a PC DVD-ROM).

  • i want to download it , but from where ?

  • no demos? :(
