MStar Driving for Teens - Partnered with Simulator Systems International

Mstar driving for teens is a new way of learning with a comprehensive training curriculum specially designed by Simulator Systems International to assist students in learning, while preparing and improve teenagers overall driving skills with the use of simulation.

Each virtual simulator curriculum includes a range of behind-the-wheel tutorial videos, driving exercises that deliver 39 lesson plans and over 200 real life scenarios of unlimited practical driving experiences.

Simulator Systems International software has been designed to cover everything from pre-drive checks, rules of the road, scanning principles and defensive driving techniques on how to avoid collisions, identify hazards, drive in adverse and impaired conditions and much more.



The key to this simulated curriculum is to utilize an interactive building block approach in order to properly prepare drivers of any age to operate successfully on the open road.

In addition, students can drive with an automatic or 5-speed manual transmission equipped with; Steering wheel, 2 way gear shifter, Gas and Brake pedal, Emergency brake, Adjustable seat, Seat belt, Turn signals, and side mirrors
