Drivesim - Module 2
Basic road training
Master real traffic situations with practical and adaptable exercises.
General Description
Recommended duration: 15 hours
Level: intermediate
Target audience:
Students preparing for practical exams
Students preparing for practical exams
Companies with light vehicle fleets
Road safety training centers
This module covers the essential skills for driving in urban and interurban environments, with exercises based on international standards.
Detailed exercises
1. Roundabouts and traffic circle management
TargetLearning to choose lanes and signaling correctly.
Activities:
Traffic circles with 3 and 5 exits.
Priority of way with vehicles and pedestrians.
Benefit:
Reduces errors in practical tests and avoids fines due to poor signaling.
2. Safe overtaking
TargetPerform overtaking maneuvers safely.
Activities:
Calculation of distances on secondary roads.
Protocols for overtaking cyclists (1.5m distance).
Benefit:
Prepares for real situations on fast and rural roads.
3. Use of special lanes
TargetMastering BUS, VAO and acceleration lanes.
Activities:
Highway merging from acceleration lane.
Circulation in time-restricted lanes.
Benefit:
Ideal for professional drivers and competitive examinations (e.g. State Motor Pool).
Technology used
Hardware:
-
Driveseat with haptic feedback (vibration on steering wheel for lane encroachment).
-
180° screen for peripheral vision.
Software:
-
15 preconfigured urban/interurban scenarios.
-
Evaluation" mode with error reporting (e.g., not using turn signals).
Real application cases
Example 1:
Used in the competitive examinations for the State Motor Pool driver (Spain, 2018).
Example 2:
Implemented in Fundación MAPFRE Colombia's road safety program for cab drivers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it include regulations from other countries?
Yes, the software adapts to local regulations (e.g. Mexico, Portugal).
Can it be integrated with other modules?
Absolutely, many centers combine this module with the efficient driving module.
Global benefits
| Advantage | International Impact |
|---|---|
| Risk prevention | Reduces errors in basic maneuvers (cause of 35% of claims*). |
| Adaptability | Scenarios adjustable to local traffic regulations. |
| Training efficiency | 10 hours of simulation = 15 hours of practice in real traffic. |
| Certification | Valid for international occupational risk prevention courses. |

Drivesim - Module 2
Basic road training
Fundamental skills: handling traffic and day-to-day situations
This module develops essential competencies for driving on public roads, focusing on recurrent maneuvers and universal regulations. Ideal for students starting their practice in real environments and training centers that prioritize global road safety.
Key exercises
1. Safe overtaking techniques
Target:
Master procedures for passing vehicles and vulnerable users.
Activities:
Calculation of distances and speeds for overtaking trucks on secondary roads.
Special protocols for cyclists with lateral safety margin (1.5m minimum).
Educational benefit:
Prevents rear-end collisions or oncoming lane invasion
2. Special lane management
Target:
Correct use of lanes with specific regulations.
Activities:
Incorporation to fast lanes from acceleration lanes.
Traffic in BUS/VAO lanes with variable time limits.
Educational benefit:
It avoids fines for improper use and improves traffic flow.
3. Standard traffic circles (multiple exits)
Target:
Navigate traffic circles according to exit and road type.
Activities:
Prioritization according to signaling (yield the right-of-way, traffic lights).
Lane choice in traffic circles with 3 to 5 exits.
Educational benefit:
Reduces accidents at complex intersections.
4. Unconventional traffic circles
Target:
Adapt to traffic circles with atypical designs.
Activities:
Management of elliptical traffic circles with direct lanes.
Circulation in integrated traffic light traffic circles.
Educational benefit:
Train for urban environments with innovative infrastructure.
5. Impact of tire pressure
Target:
Demonstrate the relationship between maintenance and safety.
Activities:
Comparative driving: optimum pressure (2.3 bar) vs. low (1.5 bar).
Emergency braking at 90 km/h in the wet with/without ABS.
Educational benefit:
Generates awareness of preventive maintenance.
