Shilimkar Motor Driving School

Running Shilimkar Motor Driving School down by Dandekar Bridge in Pune is quite an experience. The traffic around the bridge is always something else, which actually makes it a good place to teach people how to drive. If you can handle a car around here, you can probably handle it anywhere in Pune. Our small office is right there near the road, so we hear the honking and the engines all day long. It isn't a fancy place with leather chairs. We just have a desk, some registration forms, and the keys to our practice cars hanging on the wall. New drivers come in looking a bit nervous, and we just sit them down and talk through the basics. There’s no corporate talk here; we just explain how the clutch works and how to watch the mirrors. We have been helping people get their licenses for a while now. The office gets a bit cramped when more than three people are inside at once, but we make it work. Usually, we are out on the road anyway. The area around Dandekar Bridge has changed a lot over the years, but our routine stays the same. We start early in the morning before the traffic gets too heavy and finish up late in the evening. It’s just a regular driving school trying to help the locals get from point A to point B safely.
