[1.52] Driving academy not localized for U.S. English

The Driving Academy uses UK English spelling (i.e. terms like "kerb", "manoeuvre"), even when game settings are set to U.S. English.

I just noticed this in the blind side reversing scenario. I’m not really sure what the “err” is suppose to be.

"Err" is a real word and is used in both US and UK English.

I've noticed the British spellings of curb and maneuver myself. It's quite distracting. Also, "City centre" is not a common phrase in American English, but when it is used, it's spelled with a final -er. The -re spelling is more of a Canadian thing.

Yup, it also has a similar etymology to the more common word error.

Yeah, the North American equivalent for "city center" would be "downtown".
