Violent games have been accused of influencing criminal behavior in the youth of today, but now games may be accused of influencing something else--putting the pedal to the metal.

A study by British driving institution BSM has found that young drivers are more apt to speed and drive recklessly after playing a racing game, reports the BBC. A survey showed that more than a third of 1,000 subjects polled are more likely to push the gas a little harder after playing a racing game, and 27 percent of drivers aged 16 to 24 "admitted more risk-taking on the road after a gaming session."

Yeah it is kinda true.. When people play race games and then go ride in a real car they mix up and hit it too hard.. A well.. Those kids shouldn't be allowed to drive :)

Played racing games since I can remember.
Also played GTA.

But I can't even start a car without writing the how-to on my hand so I don't really have to worry. :D

Don't need to read it, I'll tell you myself I'm affected by dippin around in Forza and then hopping into my car right after.

DO NOT confuse that with something like 'Now that I've started playing Forza I always drive faster' - which is the same as saying playing violent games leads to people being violent.

Actually I drive fast cos it's the ultimate high I've ever experienced. When you see someone taking turns with only one hand on the wheel, however, they might be trying to look cool.

I smoke the fools who want to look cool. Driving is my passion.

Nah, I turn with only 1 hand cuz it's more comfortable to me. I like to lean back a little bit.

Ok "batman" your next step is to find yourself a cool costume and look for revenge.

My thought on this is:

If you do something ALL DAY, then yes, it is going to affect the way you perform in everything else.

C'mon, I bet at least ONE of you guys have thought of silkroad when anyone says the word "Berserk" :roll:
