There game consists of learning segments, written, and driving tests. The written exams ask questions regarding the laws of the specific state that the user is playing the game in (they are asked when they start a profile).

While the lessons and written test are informative, the bulk of the time is spent in the actual driving mode. In this mode, you drive around with Ed, your driving instructor. Everything must be done right, from putting on your seatbelt to checking your mirrors before changing lanes. There are also different factors that will affect your driving in different lessons. Some have different weather, and one lesson even simulates what it might be like to drive drunk. Dymanix was so sure of the effectiveness of this game that they offered a money-back guarantee if the user did not pass their driving test. The game was released in 1998, with another, updated version released in 1999.
