Grand Theft Auto V comes out today for next generation consoles, and as you can see from the trailer above, it looks absolutely stunning.

The new update includes a first-person mode, and will run in a 1080p at 30 frames per second.

It has certainly come a long way from the pixelly universe of the first edition.

Yet all the games over the years have one thing in common, which is that they contain TERRIBLE life lessons. Nobody should use GTA as a lifestyle guide. No-one.

So here are some of the terrible life lessons we learnt from GTA...

1. Mass murder is BARELY illegal

You can be arrested for murder 5 times in one day and still only get a $300 fine every time. In the real world you can be fined more for littering.



2. Getting shot multiple times isn't that bad

Probably won't even hurt.



3. In fact, gun shot wounds can easily be cured with fast food

Do not try that at home. Fried chicken may be able to cure a hangover but it categorically cannot cure massive blood loss/hemorrhaging.



4. Parking is incredibly easy

Ta-dah!



5. This sort of thing happens all the time in most cities

And most members of the public aren't fazed.



6. Gang members are all the same person

This would theoretically make it a lot easier for the police to catch criminals.



7. The police will eventually get bored of chasing you

Man hunts for mass murderers tend to blow over in a few minutes in GTA. That or they'll try to run you over.



8. Speaking of police, all police are RIDICULOUSLY STUPID

Someone didn't pass the “turn in the road” section of their driving test.

No but seriously you guys

(To be fair the cops on GTA 5 are insanely efficient)



9. Cars don't need petrol

You can drag race for hours on end with no need to refuel at all!



10. Horses can ride motorbikes

Pretty much the best mod ever, but this is a terrible life lesson. Horses should not be allowed to handle a vehicle, no matter how convincing they are.



11. There is no such thing as logic

This sort of thing happens all the time.



12. Cars are cheap and quick to repair

A car that's almost a total write off can be repaired simply by getting a paint job. Alright you can't fix the exploded ones



13. Performing insane stunts on a bicycle is both easy and safe

Try doing that on your ride to work.

14. But basic tasks are IMPOSSIBLE

While you might be able to safely do a loop-de-loop on a BMX, climbing over a 4ft fence is actually really hard.



15. And finally, there are rarely consequences

There are in real life likely to be consequences to jumping from a plane on a jet ski. But you never know.



Bonus vine: playing GTA like it's a driving test
