    Do you like driving a car in real life as much as you like driving a car in the video games?

    Driving in real life is quite enjoyable, thought I do like that in video games I can drive much faster than I would risk in real life, due to safety reasons. However, just cruising in real life and enjoying the fresh air is very nice for me.

    Honestly not really, when I'm taking road trips and I know I have hours to go and time to kill then I like driving in real life. When I need to be somewhere at a specific time, and there's traffic people are crazy and they cut you off and try to kill you to get where they need to go first and sometimes I just can't handle it. So I don't like it too much in real life.

    Depends on your system set up. I prefer driving in real life. It relaxes me.

    Not really. I'm usually too lazy to drive in real life but I'm very much up for driving in video games because it's much more fun. In real life we have to deal with traffic and boredom, whereas video games are much more exciting for driving.

    I use to but after driving a 18 wheeler for years, you can lose the enjoyment. I still like to drive but not as much as I once did.

    Absolutely NOT. ij the game no matter what game it is if the person next to me angers me I can easily speed up spin my car around and hit them head on and I want feel a thing. Try that in real life and for sure your gonna have a hospital visit, resulting in a lot of broken bones possibly be paralyzed and then after your are released from the hospital you will have a court date where you are gonna get the crap sued out of you and may even ed up with a little jail time.

    Driving in real life is more of a chore while racing in a video game is just pure entertainment.

    Although if I lived in some remote area where I can take my car over 100 mph without fear of getting into an accident or the police pulling me over then I would give the edge to real life driving. :)

    I don't need to drive since I live in the city and everything is within walking distance from me. I can also easily take a bus if I need to get somewhere much further.

    This is true. I get bored driving in real life even if the destination is somewhere I really want to go to, but I can play racing games for hours without tiring of them.

    I drive in real life but not as daring as I would do when playing the video game. The fact is speed and accuracy are exaggerated when on video games.

    The car use to be a symbol of freedom(video game driving offers freedom)but not these days,and the roads are overcrowded so I am not motivated to drive everywhere today. The car companies with their commercials feature unrealistic empty streets,fast cars and nature as well,so I think the fun and freedom is living closer to the city and using public transit and bicycles is the way to go,and this is a way of achieving freedom from traffic congestion,car loans and oil prices as well.

    Actually I don't really. I lost my interest when I was still learning how to drive. My driving instructor was pretty bad and mean, used to yell and shout for no reason. Although I need to get rid of the complexes and start driving, he really messed me up in that sector.

    I don't own a car, so I don't know how it's like to drive a real car. I guess I just have to wait and see if I will like it.

    I have yet to get the license. And so I have not much driven real car. So mostly the virtual car driving for me. I guess you can see that such car driving routine can be a bit different.

    I don't own a car right now and I never had the chance to learn to drive because I'm still young to drive it. But I am into car racing games so I'm looking forward to learn to drive next year.

    I'd love to drive for real but unfortunately I don't have license yet. I need to wait until next year so I can be legit to apply for driving license.
