RoadReady Streetwise
Website:  http://streetwise.roadreadyteens.org/
This is advertised as a computer game from Daimler-Chrysler to improve the driving skills and awareness of the players.  It is not intended to replace driver's education but to supplement it.  I have not actually viewed it because it won't load on the operating system currently used by the DOT.  The "Info" button on the home page provides the system requirements and initial download times.  Also, be aware that you must download "Wild Tangent" as a web driver, and that also has system requirements.  As a web driver, "Wild Tangent" will give a computer access to other games not related to driver education or anything else educational.  Care and observation is advised.
