Driver Training Simulator

We use the MCI Coach Driving Training Simulator

Already holding the highest possible safety and operational ratings from the U.S. Departments of Defense and Transportation, Lamers has added the MCI Coach Driving Training Simulator to further our driver educational programs. Designed to give drivers the skills they need to become safer, more confident, and better prepared behind the wheel, the simulator helps drivers become familiar with navigating a 45-foot motor coach through traffic, mountains and inclement weather, while simulating situations that may occur on the road.

A New Chapter

At Lamers Bus Lines, we have added a new chapter to our driver training program. We feel that giving thr driver the chance to experience unexpected traffic events, blown tires, icy roads and other challenges, while behind the wheel in a controlled simulation provided invaluable experience. That is why Lamers Bus Lines is proud to present it's state-of-the-art driving simulator and mobile classroom.

Mastering Maneuvers

Lamers' drivers are able to master basic and advanced maneuvers through most types of traffic, intersections and railroad crossings. Instructors can even program the simulator to allow for day, dusk and night driving; changing weather conditions like icy roads, rain, fog, or snow and mechanical failures like a flat tyre. We have found that there is simply no safer and more efficient way to supplement our training program.
