Early in automotive history, learning to drive included getting behind the wheel and figuring it out before hitting something. Next came learning from an experienced driver who would sit in the passenger seat and provide guidance and advice. As cars became more common the number of rules and traffic laws increased, which brought about the need for more formal ways to educate new drivers.

Many experienced drivers today might remember their driver's ed course. Sitting in a lecture hall listening to the instructor, watching videos and driving on the roads with an instructor, which are still common place in driver's ed. Some might even have had access to simulation machines that resembled bulky arcade games, driving courses with imaginary garages, or even a skid pan. While nothing can replace the experience gained from being behind the wheel of a real car on a legal road, some online sites are trying to make learning the rules more fun.
