In Real Life driving is monotonous chore for most people, the destination is more important than trip. No one else drives the right way, the way you want them to. Gas is too expensive and so is the price the repair shop demanded when you showed them your broken tire rod. A mere two feet of water can carry your vehicle away and a thin sheet of ice is treacherous, to say nothing of mud. Video games, on the other hand, have [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]] so driving is a much different experience.
The two most common forms of driving games are [[Racing Game

** Even worse, you can't just start up and walk away, as the bus has a slight left lean, and will therefore careen off the road if not monitored. This program was even used as a ''fund-raising mechanism'' as [[Desert Bus for Hope]]. The drivers ended up on the road for ''five days''. Then they did it again. [http://desertbus.org/ And again ].
* Some games such as the ''Midtown Madness'' and ''Midnight Club'' series (not to mention ''[[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|Burnout Paradise]]'') take the racing out of closed circuits and into an actual city, where races are frequently given an "open world" layout that can be run on any number of different routes.
* Certain scenarios in ''Streets of [[
* Sega's classic ''[[Out Run]]''. Their earlier ''Hang-On'' is the same thing <small>WITH MOTORBIKES!</small>, and is [[Older Than the NES]].
