Cops Blame Driving Games For Crap Young Drivers

In a way, I can see it... I mean teens play driving games and action video games more often than strategy and role-playing games. It only makes sense that driving can affect how teens drive in the real world.
I mean, when I started to learn how to drive, I had been Need For Speed on the Xbox, and it was by far my favorite game that we had, and it was one of tow different driving games that we had. Well, anyway, when I first started to learn how to drive, every time I cam close to hitting something, my thoughts were centered around the game and how many points I would have gained for coming close but not hitting the pole. It's actually a little funny now, but not at the time.
There are many studies where some of the results lean towards video games having a negative impact on younger drivers becuase it tend to increase their complacency and their indulgence in risky behaviors on the road.
In many driving games, you race and crash, then with a few buttons you and your car are both good to go to continue driving. This just isn't how it works in the real work, which is understood by drivers, even new, young drivers, but the driving video games still are thought to increase the chance of risky behaviors.
What do you think?
