| I think this is a super idea It gets to the youngsters and puts the idea of defensive driving into there heads .Defensive driving is the ONLY way to drive ! If we all drove defensivly accident could only be put down to acts of god | |

| Nothing happened.. local testing center told me they don't have a list.
And no winners have been announced either. Dunno what's up.
I heard that quite a few people in other cities did their round-2 in the simulator.. | |

| Guys! Atleast check before commenting!
- The contest was carried out. I was also a participant till the 2nd round.
- Yes i did drive on the Simulator and that too in Mumbai, INDIA (For More Locations of the Training Centers - http://www.marutidrivingschool.com/locations.aspx)
- The contest did go to the final (Third) round as planned to Delhi - Institute of Driving Training and Research (IDTR) and the winner was announced there. Zubin Antalia won the Competition. The event was covered by most of the Television and print Press too.
- For more details - http://www.webnewswire.com/node/449525
It was a great competition. Personally i got to know what actually is needed to get a License and how we manage it here. There is so much that is MANDATORY under the Motor-Vehicles Act but we dont even bother to know! Did you know that to obtain a license, u need to know the sections of the MV act, atleast the prominent ones!! Does anyone even know one???? Also, the training techniques and professionalism sure Floored me! Way to go MDS! | |

nice... Yes!! they do have them here. And pretty decent ones at that. And of course its a marketing gimmick. Maruti has been doinf so many things singes years as a part of CSR (corporate social responsibility) that are actually intended for good publicity. Since we've gotten used to them so much, we accept the CSR image. But either ways, its a good move. ATLEAST SOMEONE DID IT. | |

| one of my friends took driving lessons from the Maruti Driving School netwrok recently.. I have gone through their booklet, CD and processes myself.. I am extremely impressed.. and they do use the simulator extensively.. in fact they do not let you do a road drive on any assignment without having passed the same assignment on the simulator..
I think this is the way to go.. although, we Indians would much rather pay a local agent to get us a license without even taking the pre-license test... no wonder then that we have all kinds of maniac with scant knowledge of rules and absolutely no regards for fellow road user driving cars.. just because they have the money to buy a car | |
