Devika Driving School

This driving school is located in Thamarassery, over in Kozhikode. Specifically, we’re near the Chungam area. We’ve been teaching people how to drive for quite a while now. It’s mostly about getting folks comfortable behind the wheel so they can pass their tests and get their licenses. We have a couple of cars that we use for the lessons. They aren't brand new, but they work fine for learning. Driving around here can be a bit stressful for beginners because of the traffic and the narrow roads, but that’s exactly why they come to us. We spend most of our day sitting in the passenger seat, watching the road and giving directions. It takes a lot of patience, especially when someone is stalling the engine for the fifth time in a row. We don’t have a big fancy office. Most of the business happens right there in the car or at our small desk near the main road. People from all over the Thamarassery area come to us. We just try to explain things in a way that makes sense, like how to use the clutch or when to check the mirrors. It’s a lot of repetitive work, going over the same routes every day, but it’s what we do. We’ve seen hundreds of people go from being nervous to actually knowing how to handle a vehicle. It’s just a practical, local service for the community. We stay out on the roads most of the day.
