Gati means motion.
We started with one scooter and a patch of ground in Satdobato. The idea hasn't changed: short lessons, no shouting, and real roads before you're on your own.
Ground, lanes, then traffic.
The first days are on our practice ground with nobody around. Then quiet back lanes early in the morning. Only when you're steady do we join the ring road.

Five steps to your card.
A general guide to the process. Rules and fees change, so always check the Department of Transport Management notice before you apply.
Practise the likhitOnline application
Fill in the form on the transport department website and pick an office and date. We help with this if you choose the licence add-on.
Documents and biometrics
Citizenship, photos and a medical check. Your photo, fingerprints and signature are taken at the office.
Written exam (likhit)
Multiple-choice questions on signs and rules, on a computer. Our practice test covers the basics.
Trial
The practical test on the track: the 8-figure for two-wheelers, ramp and parking for cars.
Licence printed
Pass the trial and your smart licence is printed and collected later.
Three things to master.
The 8-figure
Ride the figure-eight without putting a foot down or touching the lines. Slow throttle, look where you want to go.
Ramp and hill start
Stop halfway up the slope, then move off without rolling back. Clutch and handbrake, nice and smooth.
Cones and parking
Weave through the cones, then reverse into the box between the poles. Use your mirrors, not just your neck.
Asked every week.
How old do I need to be?
16 for a scooter or motorcycle licence and 18 for a car, under the usual rules. You can start lessons a little before, so you're ready on the day.
I've never ridden even a bicycle. Is that okay?
Yes. Tell us in the note when you enrol and we'll start with balance on a stationary scooter. Some people need a couple of extra sessions, and that's normal.
Can I change my lesson time?
Call us a day before and we'll move it if your instructor has a free hour. Lessons missed without notice are not added back.
What if I fail the trial?
Many people do the first time. Book three trial-practice sessions and try again on your next date.
Do you pick me up?
Yes, with the pickup add-on, anywhere within about 4 km of Satdobato.
