Jas Motor Driving School

Our little office sits in Mylakad, right there in the Thazhuthala area of Kollam. Driving is one of those things everyone needs to know but it makes people nervous at first. We see it every day. Someone sits in the driver’s seat for the first time and they can’t even find the clutch. We take them out on the roads around Mylakkadu where it’s not too busy. The car has dual pedals so we can stop it if things get scary. It is a lot of patience. You explain the gears over and over until they stop grinding them. We go through the same turns every day. The learners come from all over, some young and some quite old who finally decided to learn. It is not just about the steering wheel but knowing the rules and how to park without hitting the wall. Traffic in Kollam is getting worse, so we try to teach them how to stay calm when everyone is honking. Sometimes the weather is bad and we have to use the wipers, which is another thing for them to remember. By the time they get their license, they look much more sure of themselves. We keep the cars running and wait for the next person who wants to learn. It is just how it goes here.
