Driving in general can be difficult in Idaho, but driving a big rig is extra dangerous. But the danger isn't as imminent when you are driving that big rig around Twin Falls in a virtual video game. Some people like to spend their time pretending to drive trucks around the state in truck-driving simulators. The games are so realistic that you are even forced to sit at stoplights, just like in real life.

The coolest part of the truck-driving simulators is that they try to put you into actual places. There is at least one where you can drive the streets of Twin Falls, as seen in this video.
