Sri Vani Driving School

Being on Velachery Main Road means we deal with a lot of traffic every single day. Our school is over here in Selaiyur, near the Camp Road junction. It’s a busy spot, but that’s actually good for learning how to drive because you get used to the real road conditions right away. We have a couple of cars that we use for the lessons. They aren't brand new, but we keep the engines running well and the brakes are always checked. Most people come to us because they live around here and want to finally get their license. We sit in the passenger seat and guide them through the gears. It takes a lot of patience, especially when someone is stalling the engine for the fifth time at a green light. We just tell them to take a breath and try again. The office is at No. 56, and it’s a simple room where we handle the paperwork and talk about the rules of the road. We don't use fancy simulators or anything like that. We just get out there on the Chennai streets and learn by doing. Sometimes we have to schedule lessons very early to avoid the worst of the heat during the summer months. It’s practical work. We’ve seen all kinds of nervous beginners turn into decent drivers after a few weeks of practice on these roads. We keep a diary for the bookings and try to fit everyone in as best as we can.
