The verdict
A dated but genuinely useful driving-lesson simulator, best with a wheel and cheap on sale. Skip it if you want an easy, polished or stable game, since the exam scoring is harsh and bugs are common.
Great for
Learner drivers practising rules and manual shifting with a wheel, plus casual free-roam cruising with mods
Main risk
Unfair exam scoring, dumb traffic AI, and crashes or setup problems can make it frustrating

Steam's numbers show 88% positive over the last 30 days versus 83% overall. Recent positive reviews mostly praise it for exam prep, wheel play and mods. No specific patch or fix is named, so we're not sure of the cause.
