Realistic Driving Simulator Games?

modoquasi writes "I have a son approaching the age when it is legal to hurtle through the air at insurance-raising speeds. I would like to educate him to hurtle safely and legally as soon as possible, and not use my car to do it. I thought I would find a number of driving simulator/educators for teens at home. but all I found are the likes of GTA Vice City and Crazy Taxi. Though Big Mutha Truckers might educate him on correct parking procedures in tight spots, I don't think it covers four-way-stops and passing on a double yellow line. Do the readers of Slashdot have any clues where to find this type of software?"

    it has more realistic physics than any other game out there. period. and that is what really matters. the rest of driving is pretty obvious. stay in your lane. obey street signs.

    you're not going to find a game that has "check your mirrors, do a walk around of the car making sure all signals work, check your gauges, put on your seat belt...etc."
