In the case of Dr. Ambika Shetty, it is her new year resolution to step out of her comfort zone that made her join the ride in her Thar. I feel safe when I am at the wheel as the height gives me a superb view of the road ahead,” says Dr. Namitha, the proud owner of a Thar. The realisation that help may not be always available, especially while driving alone has made me learn the basics,” explains Asha who has been driving a car the almost three decades now. “Initially it was just driving for the sake of reaching a destination but now the thrill of driving with heavier vehicles has made me learn how to manage in case of trouble to a certain extent,” adds Asha.
