No, not really, but your DS can now in fact train you for your driving exam. Now, it's just not what you think. It can train you for the written part of the exam with Drivers Ed Portable.
Yup, for the written part as well. Another reason to take your DS to school as well.

Toronto-based DreamCatcher have just announced the development of their edutainment software, which will be published by JoWooD this Fall.

Drivers Ed Portable is designed to help teens worldwide to prepare for the written portion of their drivers license exam (sorry no test driving while gaming). The game contains practice tests for the USA, Canada, Spain, Italy, France, Germany and the UK and is even customized down to the laws for the state or province they live in. The game will feature a train mode as well as the test mode. The train mode will include three educational mini-games targeted to new drivers. The player’s progress will also be tracked, letting them know the areas they most need improvement.

Even if you don’t need to study for your license test, Drivers Ed Portable is certainly a good excuse to keep that DS is your book bag and ready for the back row in class.

    Games like this really intrigue me as to how the creators got the idea of making games like these. Nice find though, the game sounds cool.

    Maybe when I'm 16 I'll buy it and it'll help me for the exam. It'd be kinda weird though when they asked if I had any training, and I said I just played video games.
