| The usual story Age - 18 Tutor - Driving School Car - Maruti 800 - LPG Location - Chennai Indra Nagar Learnt how to drive, took license and didn't touch a car for the next 7 years.  Happened to start driving when I was almost 26. Since then, clocked some 10K kms with about 70% on the highway. And the best thing was, I faced absolutely no hiccups when I started driving after that long a gap.  |

| Two wheeler - when I was 18. Vehicle - Yezdi. Tutor was my friend's uncle. Location - inside their garden for one day, our colony roads from then onwards. Car - when I was 33. Vehicle - a second hand Dolphin I had purchased days before. Tutor was a childhood friend who had dropped out of school and was working as a cab driver. Class duration was one hour a day for ten days, remuneration agreed was Rs 500 (this was 1993). Location was an open ground the first day, our colony roads on the second and GST Road from the third, from 6.30 AM to 7.30 AM. While driving near the Airport on the sixth day, I stupidly braked hard and brought the car to a dead halt in the middle of the road to avoid a dog. It was a foolish thing to do, there are quarries nearby and tipper lorries will run helter-skelter there. I was cursing myself when my flustered tutor, possibly because of the childhood friendship, came down very hard on me. As soon as we reached home, I paid him Rs 500 and fired him on the spot. I practiced by myself from the next day and got my licence exactly three months later, through a tout of course!  |
