About the simulator
The simulator uses one fixed car, a 4.04 m hatchback with a 2.49 m wheelbase, and shows speeds in km/h. The hill start uses a simplified gas and biting-point bar instead of a real clutch, so it teaches the order of the routine, not the feel of the pedals.
Based on the Road Safety Authority's published guidance on the Category B driving test and on driving school guides. We are not affiliated with the RSA, and the simulator is practice, not a copy of the test.
