RISK management company Pro-Drive has unveiled a new online driver training system which allows you to drive a car from your desk.

Two years in the making, e-drivertraining.com has been developed in partnership with Pro-Drive’s sister company E-trainingworld and aims to replicate online the training the firm already offers on the road.

‘It has taken almost two years to design and develop this new system,’ said Graham Hurdle, managing director of Pro-Drive. ‘Unlike many other systems, e-drivertraining.com is highly interactive,’ he added.

‘It actually enables you to test out your driving skills and road safety knowledge through animated training sections whereby you physically take control of a vehicle in order to improve your braking, manoeuvring, gear changing and observation skills as well as many other aspects that would be looked at during an in-vehicle session.’
