Read the following news article from Gamespot that made my day.
Grand Theft Auto teaches 6-year-old to drive
Just what are children learning when exposed to violent video games like Grand Theft Auto? How to drive, according to one Virgina 6-year-old.;)
The Associated Press is reporting that the child missed the bus to school Monday morning, and decided to take his family's Ford Taurus instead. The boy made it almost six miles before crashing into an embankment and utility pole just a mile-and-a-half shy of the school. He suffered only minor injuries, and a county sheriff told the news agency the determined boy began walking the rest of the way to school after the crash.
According to the report, the boy told police he had learned to drive by playing unspecified games in the Grand Theft Auto and Monster Jam series.
The boy's mother was asleep when he took the car keys, police said, and both parents are charged with child endangerment. Both the boy and his 4-year-old brother were placed in protective custody.

I knew that game was good for something, saves all the money for driving lessons and you get to kill virtual people and get away with it
What I'm puzzled about is how does GTA specifically teach you how to drive? Can you play GTA using a gaming wheel?
no. but you still need to bang people all the same.
If anything, GTA has taught me how to crash. He drove 6 miles!
