but you have to think of the bandwagon drift kids that are the ones causing all this trouble.
putting myself in a non car enthusiast's shoes, i can totally see video games negatively influencing the ways everyday people (that play car games) speeding and making stupid moves on the freeway in their trucks or civics etc...
Us being drivers, we are more responsible and experienced i think.
Gran Tourismo hahaha at least they didnt type Grand Turismo

video games = fake
driving = real
that would be like me going out and killing a bunch of people for no reason in Iraq and saying the cause was playing a first person shooter or something like that.

that is exactly what they are trying to say about video games. that it is causing senseless violence (and car accidents for this thread), maybe not for you but many younger teens. their view of real and fantasy start getting blurred into one and it becomes hard for them to distinguish the difference between the two. i had to write an essay for this recently, sorry. haha

I already dont like this article by the second paragraph
"They say that people who play car-racing games drive more aggressively and have a greater risk of car accidents than people who play racing games less often, or who play "neutral" games."
if you drive more aggressively youre more likely to crash, its not because of the game
"To win the racing game, participants had to massively violate traffic rules (like drive on the sidewalk, crash into other cars, drive fast). Subsequently, the racing gamers reported more thoughts and feelings linked to risk-taking than did those who played a neutral game. Interestingly, but maybe not all that surprisingly, female participants has fewer such thoughts and feelings."
Gran Turismo is on race tracks, no traffic rules there folks :rotfl: and you dont HAVE to crash into stuff on the games, most people just suck at controlling a picture with sticks and buttons

Hmmm... For me playing GTA or something calms me down (calmer than you are) because I get to run around and shoot people, etc just like how you cannot in real life.
Why don't they do something meaningful like a study on what Dungeons and Dragons did to kids of the 80's... Haha...
What is a neutral game by the way? What will playing Lego Star Wars cause me to do? Last time I was Chewie and was pulling people's arms off like a ****. Wow, work's gonna be fun tomorrow..

I would like to see some percentages of people who wreck and those who play gran turismo. ill bet that a lot more dumb asses hit each other every day on the freeway than car enthusiasts bite the dust driving mountain courses lol, but i cant back that up with any evidence :/ Ill also bet those people who shoot people play shoot em up games too 
here's a perfect example of dumb *** commuter drivers.... do you see any car enthusiast looking people doing dumb **** in this pic?
plus, every one knows the skills they have on gt4 are the same as their regular driving skills, duh.. here's my baller *** subaru

NICE GT4 STI!! sickness.
ANyway, I think that anyone who is stupid enough to think they can do video game stuff in a street car SHOULD crash and die a miserable death. Bring back natural selection!!
