Young novice drivers are the group of drivers most likely to crash. Young novice drivers who tend to misidentify potential hazards in the traffic environment. There are a number of factors that contribute to the high crash risk experienced by these drivers. Age and lack of driving experience are the main factors behind young drivers having an increased risk of being involved in a road traffic collision. In Taiwan when novice drivers pass the driving test, they need to attend classroom instruction to learn safe driving from fatal crashes. But the classroom instruction has limited direct beneficial effects on the safety of new drivers. In this paper, the researchers use Unity game engine to develop an Android mobile game to enhance learning in driving classroom instruction. The game has to be played at three levels: the learning, the examination and the free drive level. The researchers also develop VR game and simulator based on mobile game which can be used to enhance learning in driving education.
