Ambika Driving School

Chandra Layout is always busy, especially on 2nd Main Road near Canara Bank Colony. Our place is at No. 1, right near the Skyline Apartments. It’s a handy spot because everyone knows the apartments. We started this driving school because we saw so many people struggling with the Bangalore traffic. It’s not just about knowing the rules, it’s about having the nerves for it. Our office is pretty plain, just some old wooden desks and a couple of fans that make a lot of noise. We spend most of our day out in the cars anyway. My brother and I take turns with the students. Some of the younger kids are quick learners, but the older folks take a bit more time, which is fine. We don't rush anyone. The roads around here have a lot of potholes lately, so we have to be careful where we take the beginners. We often stop for a quick snack at the corner shop when a lesson finishes early. It’s a lot of work keeping the cars maintained with all the stop-and-go driving we do. Sometimes we have to stay late to finish the logs and talk to parents about how their kids are doing. It's a local business through and through, just people from the area helping other people get mobile. The tea here at the nearby stall is really good, so that's where we usually take our breaks between students.
