Southwest Virtual Driving School

This is the future. This article perfectly describes what my business is aiming to achieve.

Virtual reality technology is helping teenagers with disabilities to learn skills like steering, navigating traffic and driving in wet conditions to prepare for their driver's licence tests.

Glad to announce I am back at the Power Up Museum from 11:00am till 2:00pm this week till Thursday. I am having as much fun as the people that are jumping in for one of the experiences I have on offer.

Tomorrow will see the last of the GT3 simulator racing as I switch it up to Dirt Rally 2 for some rally shenanigans.

Hi everyone, it’s been a while in the making but now I am ready to go.

If you’re a parent and worried about your child getting behind the wheel then worry no more. I am seeking 10 people who want to learn how to drive an opportunity to learn join my program. This is open to people aged 10yrs and above.

My program will teach you all the fundamentals of driving with a strong emphasis on how to STOP safely, how to BRAKE safely and how to STEER correctly all in the Virtual world where you can cause no injury or damage. Practice until you can achieve the desired outcome.

I only have 10 places at present and these are available at an introductory price. Message me for details.

Its been a while so I thought that I would offer this advice, when teaching people how to drive focus on teaching them to stop and stop safely. Anyone can get in a vehicle and make it go but everyone struggles with stopping. In a Virtual environment we are able to teach people how to stop in complete safety, no harm to them or any vehicle.

And so the journey begins for these young lads. Their first time driving in a simulator. The goal is to teach them how to stop, how to drive slow, how to identify visual cues and how to determine where the road is going. The elegance of learning to drive a car using a simulator is children of any age can begin to learn in a comfortable stress free environment. If you are wondering how these young drivers of the future went, after about an hour each of driving “there way” , foot flat to the floor and crashing, they began to listen with them both completing the track without incident! A fantastic achievement. I have all the time and patience in the world when it comes to instructing young people how to manage a car. ✌️🤗

Wow, a lot of water has passed under the bridge since I set this up.

Looking forward to kicking off in Manjimup in July.
