I want to learn car driving in 10 days as I am advised by my company that they shall provide the car. Can you please share driving info even though I am joining the driving institute? I don't have a professional driving institute near my place; hence, your info help shall be highly useful.

Dear Jaya,
It's great to hear about your decision to learn car driving in 10 days. Let me tell you that practical application is key in situations like these, rather than just theoretical knowledge. :)
Ensure there is a single line break between paragraphs.

Congratulations and best wishes for safe and happy driving.
It is possible to learn car driving in 10 days, provided you are not too afraid of machines. It will be an added advantage if you already know how to drive a geared two-wheeler. Please note that driving schools can easily teach you all the basics within 10 days, but to gain confidence, you should practice driving alone, especially at night in areas with less traffic. Make sure to obtain a Learner's Licence to begin with and then a Permanent Driving Licence from day one.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Ms. Jaya,
Firstly, congratulations on being offered a car by your company. However, your question is quite amusing to me, making it hard to control my laughter. I apologize if this offends you, but it is a rather silly question that you have raised.
You mentioned that you want to learn to drive a car within 10 days just because your company is about to provide one.
Firstly, it is crucial to understand one thing:
The company is giving you a licensed vehicle that you will drive on the street. They are not providing you with a "TOY" to play around with, which is why learning in 10 days may not be practical. Perhaps learning to ride a cycle in 10 days would be a more feasible option than learning to drive a car.
Let me emphasize: A car is a vehicle. Mastering driving in 10 days is unlikely for anyone. You are not being given a special street by your company where no pedestrians walk. If, during your driving, you accidentally hit a person on the road, whether it be a child, a woman, an older person, etc., you could find yourself in serious trouble beyond what you can imagine. It is not a trivial matter to drive a car. Even experienced drivers have been involved in serious accidents. If the person hit by your car sustains permanent disabilities, you could face significant financial consequences. Additionally, a police case can be filed against you for hitting a pedestrian, regardless of fault. Pedestrians often lack awareness while walking, even at the cost of their lives. Perhaps having an experienced driver accompany you during the initial stages of driving your new car would be the best option, as they are equipped to handle various situations professionally.
Therefore, I suggest having an extremely experienced driver sit next to you while you learn to drive. This way, if a situation arises where you are about to hit someone, they can intervene immediately and prevent any serious issues.
I have no intention of discouraging you, but drawing from my five years of driving experience, I wish to caution you about the potential severe consequences you may face by treating this sensitive "toy" called a car lightly.
Before you embark on learning to drive, it is imperative to have a comprehensive insurance policy in place. In the unfortunate event of hitting a person while driving, your first responsibility is to ensure they receive medical attention promptly. This could involve significant financial costs, and having proper insurance coverage is crucial to mitigate these risks.
Please keep these points in mind as you venture into driving.
Best wishes for your new car! Enjoy every moment of driving to different places.
Happy and safe driving!

Apoorva.

Congrats on the car! Hey, it's not as difficult as it's been shown. You need to have confidence and presence of mind. Once you're confident, you can learn it easily in ten days, but make sure you do lots of practice before going into traffic. All the best. Wishing you safe and happy driving.

Ya, it's a funny question on this platform and also Mr. Apoorva, your advice is totally bullshit and nothing else. I have learned car driving within 10 days. One thing, if anyone has a requirement and gets proper training, then they can definitely learn in a short duration if they work with good faith and dedication.
Go ahead. All the best.

Jaya,
I am currently in India (Hyderabad) and have been driving for the past couple of months (sort of looking to relocate back to India and exploring my options). So far in India, I have driven in Hyderabad and Bangalore. My total driving experience is over 400,000 miles in all kinds of weather conditions (dry, rain, storm, snow, snowstorm etc). I have driven every vehicle from a sub-compact car (comparable to Hyundai i10 or smaller) all the way up to 24-ft trucks. After driving in India, I feel the need to mention a few things that, as a new driver, you may want to consider.
1. Driving is not a right. It is a privilege. Be mindful, considerate, and respectful of others on the road (all wheels – two, three, four, and more, and especially those with no wheels, i.e., pedestrians). I know this is very hard in India, with no one else doing that. But try and be as much as you can. Change starts with one!
2. Anyone who can sit behind the wheel, effectively switch gears, and move a car is not necessarily a good driver. It takes a lot more than that to be a good driver.
3. The ability to drive fast, switch lanes quickly, cutting off others on the road, continuously moving from one side of the road to another, driving between two lanes (the white line on the road is under your car), all these are considered marks of a bad driver (or reckless driver) than marks of a good driver.
4. On the same note, driving slower than everyone else and staying on the rightmost side, being overly careful, etc., are also considered bad driving. This is because such habits either block other traffic causing a traffic jam, or worse, cause accidents on the road. Be careful, observant and confident on the road.
5. Knowing "how to move a car" alone does not constitute driving. Knowing the laws, rules, and regulations, following them, being polite, turning on lights when the light is less (not only at nights, but also during rains, heavy clouds etc.), realizing that lights on a vehicle are meant not only for us to see the road but also for others to see us.
Hope this helps. The above points are due to my frustration with the traffic and ways of driving I have seen in Hyderabad and Bangalore. I intend no offense or disrespect to anyone who reads this. These points are due to my experience only.

It's amazing that people want to learn car driving on an HR website. It might be better to hire a driver and designate an HR manager to support them. The HR manager can motivate the driver, keep records of their attendance, leave, salary, compensation, and benefits, as well as provide customer training and other HR-related tasks. This setup could be more beneficial. Otherwise, just writing about it here serves no purpose.

Hello Mr. Jaya,
I couldn't understand how you have posted such silly questions on citehr. There are numerous sites that explain about car driving. If you are a real professional, please don't use this valuable site for such things and waste your time and others' time. It is also amusing to see that so many people have added comments as well. If it were some HR issue, nobody would have commented.
I appeal to all to have a change in such attitudes.

Hi, I am a few months late on commenting... but still, just for fun! This may be irrelevant, but here are a few tips from my experiences driving in India and abroad:
1) In India, single-way roads can be challenging to drive on, so avoid overtaking in the beginning.
2) On a single road, don't leave your half and make space for a vehicle coming from the front; do it only if required.
3) Use the horn every now and then.
4) Don't look in the mirror for back traffic; you will lose concentration from the front and mind will be feared. Yes, do look at it while overtaking.
5) Respect the common man walking on the road; give them the preference. Don't compete with them. Remember, you are in an air-conditioned vehicle, and they are sweating.
6) Driving at a slow speed is relaxing; high speed is stressful.
7) I am sure you are not a smoker/drinker.
8) When stopped on a busy or non-busy road, if required to open the door, look into the mirror to check if somebody is coming from the back.
9) If you are at a red light on an uphill, use handbrake and clutch coordination once the light turns green.
10) Confirm the lights once; save battery.
11) You may know, but one more time: In India, left-hand turns are free, and in Europe/America, right-hand turns are free.
12) You may be driving right, but the other may not, so be alert always.
13) Make sure you have your license and other documents with you every time you drive.
14) Always wear a safety belt.
15) REMEMBER, IF YOU CAN DRIVE IN INDIA, YOU CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
ALL THE BEST
