Education Testimonials
Hinsdale Township High School District 86, Illinois
“The 27 VDI simulators have been a very positive learning experience for our students and are a more efficient strategy to combat the distracted driving issue.”
– Janelle Marconi, District Department Chair, Hinsdale Township High School D86, IL
Anoka-Hennepin School District, Minnesota
“We recently purchased 40 VDI driving simulators. This is a great way for new drivers to learn without being out on the roads. Many students don’t even know what the difference between the accelerator and brake are, so the simulators are a great place to start. Imagine these students not knowing this information in a car versus the simulators. Each student is able to spend 8 hours on the simulators in a variety of real life situations without the risk of injury. What a benefit to the student, families and everyone on the roads. After much research, VDI was the best option available to help our students be the best drivers possible.”
– Chad Fellows, Driver Education Coordinator, Anoka-Hennepin School District, MN
Provo High School, Utah
“We have been using Virtual Driver Interactive for almost a year now and it has been very good for our students. The program is realistic and very interactive. We have about 300 students a year that use the system. The students have given positive feedback as well. Students like how it’s self-paced and realistic. I like how I can change the driving conditions and see how the system reacts. This is a great place to start with brand new drivers.”
– Mark Baker, Driver Education Teacher, Provo High School, UT
Forsyth County / LEADER Program, Georgia
“We currently partner with Forsyth County and have 42 VDI simulators in six high schools. VDI is state of the art when it comes to creating a realistic program for training young drivers without putting them in harm’s way on the road. The graphics are realistic and incorporate many lessons teaching students the correct way to handle hazardous road conditions. The students enjoy the lessons and parents have the ability to know what is being taught so they may be aware of what their children are learning week by week. Installation is stress free and the installers are very professional. The One Simple Decision program includes distracted and impaired driving which is so important to address the epidemic of distracted driving in our country.”
– Sherry Stein, Executive Director, LEADER Program Forsyth County, GA
Deer Valley Unified School District, Arizona
“We recently purchased 16 driving simulators from VDI. We have used them with over 100 students for our summer program in June and to say that we are satisfied would be an understatement. They are FANTASTIC! I know for a fact they have helped with our behind the wheel program because they are so realistic! We have had zero problems with them and the students love them. There is plenty of driving scenarios and different variations you can use its incredible.”
