 : 78 th | | | CNN: Do Gamers Make Better Drivers IRL?
Quote:
Could playing computer games enhance mental agility enough to turn people over 50 into better drivers? Allstate Corp. wants to find out, and if the answer is yes, it might offer insurance discounts to people who play the games.
Under a new pilot program called InSight, Allstate will offer specialized computer games to 100,000 customers in Pennsylvania aged 50 to 75. The games' developer, San Francisco-based Posit Science, will track the total number of hours these drivers play. Then the group's accident rates will be compared to a control group of people who do not play the games.

| | | I got all my driving done in Gran Turismo, honestly, playing that game hours upon hours a day like i did before, it had to have helped. I don't see how it wouldn't at least affect it a little.
