[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 200903, member: 7185"] Yeah, I'm 23. April of '84...the world will never be the same lol ;). I think my simulation time was mandated by the state. My recollection (and I could be wrong) is that the State of Illinois has three sections to driver's ed: class, simulation and behind-the-wheel time. I don't recall when the last driver's ed legislation went through in Illinois but I think one of those was a minimum of X number of hours behind the wheel--[I]with your parents[/I] before you could get your license. I'm 7 yrs out of date but I think it was 25 hours. Anyone in Illinois? It would cost less to do a straight curriculum change but keep in mind the technology you'd miss out on if you didn't incorporate it. I think the rumor when I graduated high school was new simulators the next year. Didn't happen. I've been back to my high school since graduation but not the driver's ed room, so I can't say if they've changed the sims. Regardless, yeah, it would be a great community service for UPS to do. I think I saw an article on here a long, long time ago about a UPS driver (think it was package car) that taught his high school daughter basically what UPS taught him in terms of driving methods, etc. She was driving home from school one day in the rain and right in front of her was a 5 car pile-up. She avoided it because of what her Dad had taught her. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
