Shivaj Driving School

Running a driving school in Katraj has its challenges, especially with the way the roads are around Sukhsagar Nagar. We’ve been doing this for a while at Shivaj Driving School. It’s a small operation, really. We spend most of our time in the car with nervous beginners who are trying to figure out how not to stall on a hill. It takes a lot of patience, but that’s the job. We aren't some big fancy company with a fleet of hundred cars. We just have our few vehicles and we keep them running as best as we can. People from the neighborhood come to us because we know these streets well. We show them the tricky turns and the spots where they need to be extra careful. The office is just a place to handle the paperwork and talk about the license process. Most days are spent out on the road, watching the mirrors and helping people get their confidence up. It’s rewarding in its own way when someone finally passes their test after a few weeks of practice. We don't use any big words or complicated methods. We just sit next to you and tell you when to brake. It’s how we’ve always done it here in Katraj. We’re just local people helping other local people get on the move. There is always someone new wanting to learn how to drive safely in the neighborhood.
