Driving Classes in Bangalore – Courses, Duration & Details

If you're planning to join driving classes, it's important to research and choose the right school. In a car-dependent city like Bangalore, the high demand for learning has led to a large number of driving schools.

To understand this better, one must be aware of the driving programs offered by driving schools. Driving schools in Bangalore usually offer two types of programs. Driving schools in Whitefield and adjoining areas provide 10 days course. This means 1 hour every day. But Koramangala and areas in and around have a program where driving courses are offered for 15 days with half an hour a day.

For enrolling into the ten day class with an hour a day, the driving course will include the following (this has been described day wise) -

Day-1

You’ll begin driving in a beginner-friendly car equipped with dual pedals. The instructor, seated beside you, will control the car initially and explain the basics accelerator, brake, clutch, gears, steering, indicators, and mirrors. You’ll practice using the ABC pedals and adjusting mirrors for clear visibility. Gear control will remain with the instructor on the first day.

You’ll also learn the half-clutch technique by repeatedly stopping, starting, and moving the car especially over speed breakers. Honking at turns is acceptable while learning, but avoid unnecessary honking later, especially near hospitals, schools, or signals, as it causes noise pollution.

Day-2

You will repeat all your learnings from the previous day with few important and extra things. On this day you can control the gears also. You have to be fast and vigilant at these controls. This will ensure a safe drive for you and others on the road. Expect to drive on rough and bumpy roads today. Try asking you instructor if you can reverse your reverse your car a few times. You are likely to drive on ascent and descent. Be sure to practise the half-clutch technique as it will be repeated. Your speed of driving will obviously be more than day 1.

Day-3

On this day you will just practice your learnings of first two days. This will enhance your driving skills.

Day-4

Today also you will practice the previous learnings with more rounds of driving reverse, going on ascents and descents. Remember that the driving speed of today will increase considerably today. It is recommended to start practising on your own car side by side. Please ensure that you have a friend or family member who knows driving sitting next to you. You could also try driving at night.

Don’t overdo any tactics when driving you own car. Keep to the basics and stick to only whatever you have learnt. Choose an empty or less crowded road to drive on.

Day-5, 6

By now you must be feeling confident as a decent driver especially as you are halfway through your training. You definitely have good and more control on the car by now. Remember that the speed limit has increased by now and you are brushing up your past learnings at an enhanced speed. This will give your more confidence and ensure that you become a good driver and hit the roads with your own car soon.

Day-7, 8, and 9

Now you will learn and drive in proper traffic. You can accelerate too, but it depends on how much you have learnt up till now. Remember that you are going to practice all the basic techniques you have learnt so far. Some instructors can also take you on highway to drive. Be sure to practise reverse, driving through traffic and crowded roads. All this while you will also get instructed about traffic signals and their functions.

Day-10

Your last day, and you can apply for permanent driving licence post 31 days of holding a learner’s driving licence. To get a permanent driving licence have to appear for a driving test and make sure the RTO officer is convinced with your driving skills to give you permanent driving licence. Driving schools tell you to keep this class for later for revision of things you have learnt and practise it right before your driving test for permanent driving licence. It’s your call to save it for later or learn on 10th day.

If you save this class for later (i.e. before going for your driving test then you will be revising your past learnings). This class will concentrate on things that RTO officer might want to know from you. Remember, officer may refuse to give you your licence if he thinks you aren’t good enough.
