Sun Driving School

Sun Driving School sits right at No. 93/A on the Bypass Road in Madurai. Being directly opposite the South RTO Office is actually quite handy because that is where everyone ends up anyway for their tests. We see a lot of nervous faces every single day. Madurai weather is usually hot, so the morning sessions are always the most popular before the sun really starts beating down on the asphalt. We have a few cars that we use for the lessons. They aren't new, but they work fine and have the extra pedals for the instructors to use when someone forgets to brake. Teaching people how to drive is mostly about patience. You sit in the passenger seat and watch them try to figure out the clutch and the gears without stalling in the middle of traffic. The 625010 area gets quite busy with trucks and buses, which makes for a good, if slightly scary, training ground for new learners. We spend a lot of time just idling on the side of the road explaining road signs. It is a slow process and can be quite repetitive, but it is what we do. The office is small, just enough space for some chairs and the paperwork needed for the licenses. We don't have any flashy slogans or big advertisements. We just show up, take people out for their rounds, and hope they don't hit the curb during their final driving test.
