The Nintendo DS plays a number of roles for the Japanese and the latest is it teaches driving. Game publisher D3P is out with the 'Driving school for DS' where not only does it teach kids to drive cars and bikes safely but also bicycles. It is actually a simulator where you go through the process of enrolling in a driving school to learning traffic signs and rules to driving. To make it fun for kids there are three characters a perky receptionist, subject teacher and a grumpy technical skills teacher. Once you are done with the teaching there is an exam which draws questions from over 4000 questions the same which are asked by Japanese authorities.

The game is available in Japan only for 2800 Yen ($ 24), wonder when the DS will teach our kids to drive.
