A Little Trouble With the F*ckin Cops
How a simple driving lesson turned into an encounter.
I remembered this incident after reading one of ’s.
A couple of years ago, when I was learning to drive, my father came up with an unexpected solution — our car cleaning guy. He wasn’t just a car cleaner; he also taught people how to drive.
Multitalented Indian folks!
That guy seemed like the safest option since I was too scared to enrol in a driving school and wanted someone familiar to teach me.
My dad couldn’t teach me himself due to his busy schedule, so this was a perfect setup.
The car cleaning guy, whom I would rather call my instructor now, assured me I’d learn to drive in just 10 to 15 days. Honestly, that sounded too good to be true. But I trusted him. Why? Instinct, lol!
Surprisingly, within just three days, I was already reversing the car. I turned out to be instinctive.
I still remember him saying I was his fastest-learning student — no one had ever learned to reverse a car so quickly! Either he was sarcastic, or just boosting my confidence more.
Although, hold your breath, because it didn’t even take 15 days!
