This product is not a simulation and will not teach you to drive or steer - that is not what it is about. This product is meant to support the knowledge and skills you will acquire with your approved driving instructor.
Driving Test Success PRACTICAL is not a simulation of learning to drive, and as such will not teach you how to drive a car - that is not what it is about. You will learn how to drive a real car in the real world with an Approved Driving Instructor.
Braking to a stop
In some sessions of DTSP you will be asked to stop the 3D car. You will do this by pressing the clutch pedal icon only. In these cases, the single click is the equivalent of pressing both the clutch and brake pedals. So donÆt be misguided in thinking that a real car stops by just pressing the clutch pedal - you need progressive braking, followed by the clutch being pressed just before the car stops.
MSM
In DTSP we do enforce the MSM routine. In real life, you are expected to check your mirrors a final time just before you start the Manoeuvre part of MSM. Enforcing this extra mirror check would have made controlling the car in DTSP very difficult, so you are not expected to do this in the 3D World.
Driving Sessions
The driving sessions in this CD Rom do not represent a driving lesson plan. They are categorised to cover the majority of key driving issues. Lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor will progress differently based on your speed of learning and the roads in your local area.
Moving Off
In the real world you will always be expected to perform the POM routine (Prepare, Observe and Move).
To make your learning experience quicker in DTSP, the POM routine will randomly come up. So you get time to practise and learn it when it comes up, and it ensures you progress through the program quicker when it doesnÆt.
2- The Information Centre
Information on companies, websites, products and prices may change after the date this program has been published and are only given as a basic guideline to obtaining further information.
3 - The Videos
In the instruction videos and the introduction video:
None of the actors are meant to copy or resemble real-life people. Any kind of resemblance is unintended and purely coincidental.
None of the instruction videos are meant to copy or resemble official driving lessons as would be given by an approved driving instructor or driving school.
Any kind of resemblance is unintended and purely coincidental.
4 - Module 1
Information on car controls does not include all the many possible variations found throughout the automotive industry. None of the images or controls are meant to copy real life or manufactured parts. The car controls under discussion only represent what are known as the commonly understood basic controls and instruments.
5 - Modules 2 to 7
World scenery - none of the 3D scenes are meant to copy or resemble real world places: neither the towns, buildings, vegetation, junctions or roads. Any kind of resemblance is unintended and purely coincidental.
3D Model people - none of the 3D people in the driving scenes are meant to copy or resemble people in the real world. Any kind of resemblance is unintended and purely coincidental.
3D Model vehicles - apart from the training car which is based upon a Vauxhall Corsa, none of the model vehicles in the 3D scenes are meant to copy or resemble those of any manufactured vehicles. Any kind of resemblance is unintended and purely coincidental.
Vehicle Number plates - None of the number plates that appear on model vehicles are meant to copy or resemble genuine number plates. Any kind of resemblance is unintended and is purely coincidental.
Road Signs - Whilst many road signs have been based upon official DTLR sources for the purpose of road scenery completeness, all of the direction signs that include destinations such as the names of towns and cities, and the numbers of roads or motorways are invented ones and any resemblance to real life direction signs is unintended and purely coincidental.
Whilst driving the difficult and complex manoeuvres in the 3D world you will not be required to carry out as many observation checks as is necessary in real life. This is to enable you to steer the car accurately.
6 - Module 8 Driving Test
The driving test in Module 8 is not meant to copy or resemble the official practical DSA driving test. Any resemblance to a real life driving test is unintended and purely coincidental.
7 - Other Disclaimers
The included Show Me Tell Me program is not claiming to be 100% accurate to the DSA official line of question and answers as used in their practical driving test. Nor will learning and knowing all of its contained information guarantee a pass in the practical driving test.
The Show Me Tell Me application will only run correctly if you have the Shockwave player installed on your computer. The DTSP CD includes the option to install the Shockwave player. See the install section below.
