Shadow Driving School

Shadow Driving School is located over in Poowattuparamba, which is a busy little part of Calicut. We spend most of our time in the passenger seat, trying to stay calm while someone else learns how to use the clutch for the first time. It is a bit nerve-wracking sometimes, especially with the traffic we have around Kozhikode these days. We have been helping people get their licenses for a while, and it’s always the same story—lots of stalled engines and a bit of sweating behind the wheel. We aren't a big fancy school with a fleet of luxury cars. We use regular vehicles because that’s what people actually drive in real life. Most of our students are youngsters or folks who finally decided they need to stop taking the bus. We explain the signs, show them how to reverse without hitting the curb, and take them through the test routes. It’s a lot of patience and repeating the same instructions over and over, but we don't mind. The 673001 area keeps us busy enough throughout the week. Sometimes we have to schedule lessons very early to avoid the worst of the heat and the crowds. It’s a practical business. We just want to make sure people can get from point A to point B safely without causing any trouble on the road. It’s satisfying when someone finally gets that piece of paper and can drive on their own.
