It was my misfortune that in a hurry to learn driving I went to Kumbhar motor driving school, Vishal Nagar, Pimple Saudagar (Wakad). I thought that since it is nearby I could easily enroll here. The owner informed me that they will teach me driving in 22 days and 5 km driving per day from first day. He told me that he will teach me Night driving, Uphill, Downhill, Reverse, Reverse and parallel park, driving in traffic. Teaching method: When my class began, the instructor asked me to start the car. He told me the process. I started it without any problem and he started saying speed up cause I was afraid and did not press the accelerator. He was controlling the brake, clutch at all times. And most of the times he was turning the steering also. After first few days I could steer properly. So I went to test drive some of the cars since I wanted to buy one. But I was shocked when I could not start the car in ANY of the test drives. The sales agents told me what to do. That time I realized that my instructor always presses clutch during start and so the car starts smoothly! By that time I had finished almost 15 classes. He also used to press clutch during traffic otherwise the car will stall. I complained to him but he said that he has to do it because I might get stuck. Traffic conditions: I request them to take the car to some traffic spot so I can get hands on knowledge. He said it will take too much time and he doesn’t want do get stuck in traffic! I asked him how I will learn. He said you will learn gradually. Night driving: not taught at all unless you fight with them. Uphill downhill: this is not taught unless you fight with them and even then he will teach you this on very small slope as he doesn’t want to take the car too far away and spend petrol on it. Pick and drop from home: He owner had promised me pick and drop facility. The pick and drop happens only when some other student is driving the car and instructor tells him to drive to my home. Drop happens when another student does his drive and drops me. Similarly I would pick or drop someone during my drive - thus saving their petrol. In this situation, we end up driving on the same roads all 22 days and not uphill downhill, or reverse, or parking or night driving etc. Absenteeism: The class requires double number of days to finish as the instructor never picks you up! The instructor never found students on time to drive to my house. I had a fight with him over this. He doesn’t respect other people’s timings at all and is not interested to finish the class sooner. Reversing the car: I fought with him to teach me reverse. He told me 1 time and he put the car in reverse gear with me in driving seat and he turned the steering! I did nothing. I dropped out!!! After a lengthy discussion, the owner Mr. Kumbhar contacted me after this but he couldn’t find suitable time or date yet to finish my course. Mr. Kumbhar mentioned that after 22 days course I will get permanent license but I will not be able to drive my car from the showroom to home or drive on road immediately. I’m thinking what the class is supposed to do than! I don’t want to damage any life or property but they haven’t taught me anything! I will now have to join another class to learn all over again! My money is lost for nothing.
