description The numbers of vehicles in the traffic and population density have been increased with rising affluence. Besides this situation, people are not enough information about the traffic. In 2013, the number of road accidents was 1.207.354 in Turkey according to the Turkish Statistical Institute. World Health Organization’s data in 2013 says that worldwide the total number of road traffic deaths is about 1.24 million per year. Along with these motivations, we developed a system for traffic education with both theoretical and practical exercises. The theoretical part of the system includes some tests which are about traffic, engine of vehicle and first aid information. The theoretical system has 10 test questions for each user. Another part of the system is a simulator with software and hardware. Firstly, in the system, a user answers the test and he/she should be successful at least 70 percent.  Then, the user can use the simulator. The simulator includes a steering wheel, a pedal system, a shift knob, a driver seat, a visual display and a virtual platform with software. With this system, inexperienced drivers will be able to acquire experience.
