⚠ Important Notice
Unofficial Driving Lessons is for entertainment and practice only. It is not an official driver’s education course. You must take in-person driving lessons from a licensed instructor, and hold the proper license, before you get behind the wheel of a real automobile. A game can never replace real instruction, real practice and real-world judgment.
📖 How to Play
Your instructor speaks to you at the start of every lesson and as you drive. Each lesson begins with a pre-drive routine: fasten your seatbelt, press the brake, start the engine and shift into Drive. Then follow the instructor, obey the signs and signals, watch your mirrors, and park at the end. You start every lesson with 1,000 points and lose points for mistakes. Score 700 or more with fewer than three collisions to pass and unlock the next lesson.

Tips: look far ahead, steer smoothly, check the rear-view and side mirrors (the orange dot in a side mirror warns of a car in your blind spot), signal before every lane change, keep a 2 to 3 second gap behind the car ahead, and slow down early for stop signs, crosswalks and lights.
