Do computer games affect driving standards/attitudes?

ive seen it happen, they steer the wrong way and spin the car.

as for keeping your right foot down, i mean feather it to stop the car spinning and not applying the brakes like many people do

I have to say... Having been playing Need For Speed Most Wanted quite a bit recently (Being between jobs has its perks), it's provided a reasonably good outlet for driving fast and I've not felt the need to drive fast so much in real life. Which is good, because I can't afford all that much petrol at the moment.

On the other hand... I have felt the need to ram into police cars and then smash through a bus station in order to loose the police helicopter that soon follows.

Late response I know...I've been busy

Anyone who gets that influenced into wreckless driving (or a killing spree or whatever) is weak minded. I quite often play driving games and I feel no need to go and drive like I do in the game.

However, it was after playing Need For Speed that I got into modifying!
