Driving school offering virtual reality lessons

From Checkpoint, 4:33 pm today

All motorists know what it's like learning to drive - the endless attempts to parallel park, the grinding gears, the lurches and the stalls. Now one instructor reckons he's found a way to confine those teeth-clenching experiences to the past, with his virtually reality programme that can help teach you to drive without even getting into a car. Ashley Gore is already running his VR lessons in Auckland and Napier, and he's hoping to expand his virtual driving school across the country. Evie Richardson reports.
