Deccan Driving School

Running a driving school on Hosur Road is a real challenge. If you have ever seen the traffic near Madivala, you know exactly what I mean. We are based at 58/3, and it’s a busy stretch of road to start a car on. Deccan Driving School has been around this part of Bangalore for a while. It’s not a fancy office. It’s mostly just a place to keep the keys and fill out the forms for the license applications. We spend most of our time out in the cars anyway. The dust from the road gets everywhere, and the noise of the trucks never really stops. We don't have a polished way of talking to people. We just tell them to keep their eyes on the road and stay calm. Learning to drive in Bangalore takes a certain kind of nerves. We see all kinds of people, from young kids to older folks who finally decided they needed a car. The office is small and usually has a few people waiting their turn. We keep a calendar on the wall that’s usually covered in scribbles. There are no big promises here, just the daily routine of clutch, brake, and gear. It’s a messy, loud, and very real business. We like being in Madivala because it’s where everything is happening. It’s a good place to learn how to handle a vehicle. The cars are always running and the tea is usually cold.
