I always feel like I'm a worse driver after playing games a lot, usually it encourages speeding and "fun" behaviours rather than good, sensible, law-abiding driving.
What games have you played to improve driving abilities.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 (and American Truck Simulator from the same studio) both reward safe and sensible driving along with spatial awareness (trailers are LONG) and simple economics (your trucking company is a business and you can grow your company size).
Poor driving (speeding, running red lights, passing unsafely) is very quickly and sometimes harshly punished.
I wouldn't say it improves my driving abilities, but when I started driving it just clicked really quickly. I understood I was dealing with an HUD, and some gameplay, and some rules, etc.
gf who doesn't really play video games seemed to struggle more
