Exactly. Heavy snow/fog/rain, night driving, night driving + heavy snow/fog/rain (a nightmare for many drivers, experienced or not), trailering, heavy/extreme traffic, animals/obstacles/debris on the road, blowout/flat tire, and any other common circumstance. Can't expect that many drivers will have to deal with any of that during their test but most of it will be encountered within the first few months of driving. It won't replace real experience, but its a lot better than nothing.

Could even use it to show the effects of distracted driving
