Amma Driving School

Running a driving school here in Sholinganallur keeps us pretty busy most days. We are based at No 197/1 on Ponniamman Koil 2nd Street, just off the OMR Road. You can find us right near the South Indian Bank. Most of the time, we are out on the roads with learners who are just trying to figure out how to handle the Chennai traffic without getting too nervous. It’s a lot of sitting in the passenger seat and watching the mirrors. People come to us from all around this part of town because it’s a convenient spot. Teaching someone to drive is just one of those practical things that needs doing. We’ve been at this for a while now, and the cars have seen a lot of miles. Sometimes the gear shifts are a bit sticky or the clutch needs adjusting, but that’s just how it goes when people are learning. We spend our mornings and evenings dealing with different types of drivers, from young kids getting their first license to older folks who finally decided they needed a car. The office is small and usually has a few people waiting around for their turn or filling out paperwork for the RTO. It’s not a fancy place, just a desk and some chairs and the sound of the traffic outside on the main road. We just try to make sure people know the basic rules and can get from one point to another safely. That’s really all there is to it.
