Siddheshwar Motar Driving School

We’ve been running this driving school in Warje for a while now. The shop is right at Phase No 1, Shop No 1 on Warje Road, which is easy to find if you know Pashimarang Society. Most days are spent sitting in the passenger seat, helping people figure out the clutch and how to not stall the engine in the middle of Pune traffic. It’s a busy road outside, so beginners usually start slow on the quieter lanes. We have a few cars that we keep running as well as we can. Sometimes the mechanical stuff acts up, but we get it fixed and keep going. Teaching someone to drive isn't just about the rules; it’s about getting them comfortable behind the wheel so they don't panic when a rickshaw cuts them off. Most of the folks who come here are from around the neighborhood. We handle the paperwork for the license too because that part is always a bit of a headache for people. It’s a simple setup. There’s a desk, some chairs for when people are waiting for their turn, and the cars parked nearby. We don't do anything fancy. Just regular driving lessons for regular people who need to get from one place to another. The traffic in this part of Pune keeps getting heavier, so learning here actually helps you get used to the real conditions pretty fast. We just try to be patient and make sure people know what they're doing before they go for their test.
