Jay Shivshakti Motor Driving School

We have been running things out of shop 16 in Chetanani for quite some time. It is a small place, mostly just a desk and some chairs for when people come to ask about lessons. Teaching someone to drive takes a lot of time and even more patience, especially when the roads get crowded. We see all kinds of people, from young kids getting their first license to older folks who finally decided it was time to learn. The cars stay busy all day. Sometimes the engines get hot in the sun, so we take short breaks. We don't have a big office or anything, just this one shop where we keep the logs and the keys. Most days start early before the sun is too high. We explain how the gears work and how to watch the mirrors properly. It is honest work. Sometimes a student stalls the car in the middle of a turn, and we just have to sit there until they get it started again. It happens to everyone. We don't do anything fancy here, just practical driving stuff. People know where to find us if they need to get on the road. It’s just how we make a living, helping the neighbors get their licenses so they can get to work or wherever they need to go. The wall has a big map of the local area pinned up with some old tape. We use it to show new students where the quiet streets are for their first few lessons. It's a simple life here in the shop.
