Manjunatha Driving School

Our driving school is right on NH 206 in Gubbi. We are very close to the bus stand, so it is easy for people coming from the nearby villages to find where we are. We have a couple of older cars that we use for the lessons. They are not the newest models you see on the road, but they work just fine for learning the basics. I spend a lot of my time sitting in the passenger seat, watching the road and making sure my students do not hit anything. It takes a lot of patience, really. The traffic around the bus stand can be a bit of a mess, but that is actually good for practice. If you can learn to drive here, you can drive anywhere else without much trouble. We have a small office where we handle all the paperwork. It is just a desk and a few chairs for when people come to sign up for classes. Sometimes the dust from the highway gets inside, so we are always cleaning the windows. We do not have a big staff, usually just me and another instructor helping out. We know most of the people in Tumkur and the surrounding areas. It is a simple business. We teach people how to use the clutch, how to park, and how to stay safe. It is not exciting work, but it is useful. People need to get around.
