Is there any? To learn how to drive with all rules.

Not sure if there is one for the general public.

However, for ***s try going to AAA or www.csaa.com and look for the ***
driving dvd. It might be what you're looking for.

Oh, one other game you might want to try is Midtown Madness or Midtown
Madness 2. It's not really a driving simulator, but you'll get the
experience of driving on the road with other cars and traffic lights.
My son used to drive like it was real life with the games.

I would suggest both Live for Speed and Richard burns rally. Both have
excellent driver training sections and LFS tarmac feels very realistic
to me. Richard burns gravel driving feels spot on and will definately
build in a corrective sense when on loose surfaces. Which if my local
paper is anything to go by is a massive killer. People getting on to
loose edges of a road, waiting too long to correct and then over
correcting only to skid sideways onto the other side of the road seems
to happen constantly. These games will help build in some motor reflex
memory. btw After playing these games I actually slowed down in real
life because I crashed so much :) Get a decent wheel though like a
Logitech G25 with full lock and clutch to simulate the real thing.

I saw one at Staples years ago but don't know if they still sell it.
Here's a bus simulator though.

As the "rules" differ from state to state, city to city, and country to
country, I'd say such a thing
does not exist.

Hmmm....since when do things such as speed LIMITS, coming to a COMPLETE stop
at stop signs, signalling when changing lanes, and not crossing lane
markings count as state specific?

Driver's Education '99 by Sierra is the closest thing that was out on the
market as far as "realistic" driving simulators went.
