Hey guys its been a long time since I have been thinking of starting up a Driving and riding safety school. Not only basic riding and driving techniques will be covered, but also ALL RULES, different type of situation toggeling, Safety system usage (ABS, ESP, TC), Emergency situations, pre and post crash trainings, etc. I want to set this up (if possible) not for profit making, but just to improve the road situation in India. Volunteers, please contact me. turbo@in.com or PM me . May be we can start up something nice that may help the public.

Hemank, great idea, I appreciate that. But remember, you can take a Horse to water but you can't make him drink

But if ther is water, atleast 10 out of 1000 horses will drink. the rest will die with thirst. slowly slowly, more horses will understand the imp of water and change.

^^^ Absolutely correct; forget even 10, if it can bring a great deal of change to even 1 out of every 100, it is successful. Keeping the cost, interest & time under control are great challenges. Because, people who already have license may not be interested & people who're in the process of obtaining one will need it soon (if possible next minute ).

So, there should be a balance to attract both the crowd. IMHO, its east & BEST to start with the young crowd who're yet to obtain because, they're educated the right way & the approach is from the root which means you're beginning to change the system, the system of chaos!!!

PS - Let me know when you start, I'll open a franchisee in Chennai

Very good answer brother. I'm based in Pune, so will b starting it up in 5 to 6 months. Lets discuss more in detail. unfortunately, only 2 others, (you and prince) are interested in helping me out. How to make this BIG?

@Hemank - What you'e penned down today, I've thought about it very seriously somewhere in 2009 or so. I dropped the idea because...
1. Very few people will be interested because, like I said before, everyone wants to get there fast, but they don't care which is the right way to take
2. Cost is a major factor. To accomplish these things, one has to spend several hours within 4 walls & mighty hours on the road.
3. Even if someone graduates out of the school successfully, there're enough number of morons to twist them back. For example, knowing all these, sometimes, I too get out of this because of the insane system around me.
4. Timings will be very odd & it will depend upon every individual's taste & if one discontinues the course, that's the greatest insult & I personally can't tolerate
5. Since this is an unique concept, its hard to sell the idea to people initially; however, once sent across correctly, I'm sure - THERE'S A CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM

PS - I don't know the effectiveness of the effort of Maruti Driving school. I've seen & heard them doing good. But there're hardly few enrollments due to high cost involved. This country needs to understand a lot in life other than money

psr

The problem here is that everybody thinks They have the right of way,be it a Bus, a Car,a Bike or even walking, and WE ARE ALWAYS RIGHT,and others are getting in OUR way..Unless this attitude changes en-mass,there is little hope for improvement on the roads...We already have rules which are ignored, and laws which are over run...
Your attempt in this scenario will face more flak than a English Lancaster over Berlin in WW 2.
Yours is a NOBLE attempt at setting right ,what even the Govt., had chosen to ignore....only to wake up in knee jerk situation.

Wishing you God's blessings, and TONS of Good Luck.
