Proving once again that the Nintendo DS can be put to use for tasks other than frazzling the fragile minds of our poor youth (i.e playing games), Atari UK has announced today that it will be releasing Driving Theory Training this summer, software that will allow British players to revise, practice and take virtual tests on driving theory and Highway Code whilst on the move.

Driving Theory Training will help learner drivers who need that little extra push when it comes to passing their driving and theory tests. In addition to a full theory test based on the real life exam, learners can benefit from revision, graphs, mini games and questions and answers relating to vehicles. The application also features the full Highway-code, ways to learn and revise as well as fun games to entertain whilst stimulating the mind.

“Knowing the rules of the road and the highway-code is vital part of driving and passing your theory test. Atari UK have been striving to replicate the driving theory exam in an educational and informative application. We hope this title will help people learn everything they need to know to successfully pass their driving theory test,” commented Jeremy Wigmore, Managing Director of Atari UK.

He continued, “The application also includes the full Highway-code and fun driving related games. Wherever they are, players can take the test, revise the questions or simply play challenges. We are knowledgeable that learners need to have a deep understanding of what they’re studying rather than simply remembering questions to pass the test and hopefully this title will help them achieve that whilst also providing an enjoyable experience.”

Be sure to let your driving instructor know about this innovative piece of software on its release this summer… just not when you’re supposed to be negotiating a busy roundabout.
