@Hemank - C'mon, not that we doubt your ability or anything. We do respect & we were only penning down our point of views. We're like any typical not so literate on road sense (read morons lol) in this country, just that we don't ride/drive on wrong way, are cautious & wear gears in addition to helmets

Our minds are open to learn; no offense pls

Umm, ABS saved you from creaming the Esteem actually.

If the car dint have ABS, the wheels would have locked and you would have gone skidding into the Esteem.

ABS helps you in maintain control of the vehicle, i.e. steer it. If the wheels would have locked up you have no steering control of the vehicle.

Wheels do lockup even in dry conditions if you stand on the brakes.

Bottomline: ABS saves!

I guess we are killing the thread with OTs here. we have loads of other thread for ABS talks.

Hemank - have you got a business plan ready with you? whom you gonna target and how? how you intent to study the market viability for such project and what are the estimated cost and returns?
You said that you gonna do it on non-profit basis which makes it even more complicated than a normal service, coz even if you dont want a salary out it, your employees would want their pay checks. a non-profit organization never literally runs as a non-profit.

Talking about getting people to come to the center and take up the test and lessons, depends how well and effective you construct the learning structure and scenarios. its shouldn't be too boring and long like a chapter of history book neither too easy and short where the students feel that they wasted their money.

Finally you can't expect to have a waiting line outside your center initially. Better would be to have limited seats per batch and keep the center and team mobile nationally (like CSS does, internationally) for better coverage and PR.

Well said, but I still have points to add to this. From many angles. Pl wait for 36 hours for my writeup on how to use ABS
