you really got to know the dimensions of your car
oh my gosh the real test starts now yeah I got like two inches on each side of me oh my gosh
oh my gosh OMG this is a four-lane road I'll paint on it manually
there we go
it's behind please
I don't know where the signals are over here sorry in Canada I'm sitting over there yeah
okay now yeah yeah okay so first time driving in Karachi in Pakistan uh We've Enlisted the help
of local driving school called Seco and we've got some lovely driving instructors what's your
name sorry free yeah nice to meet you have you ever given a lesson to a foreigner before yeah
yeah okay good so you think what is your what is your expectation of My
Success possible or not possible 100 possible
feel free to tell me where what to do at all times
sharing the road
good so our plan today is to start on some easier roads like this yeah wide
open space I noticed there's not a lot of white paint dotted lines it
seems like there's there's as many lanes as you'd like there to be yeah
um but eventually we will level up to sadar which is that's a videos daily colony
in those areas I will need your help I'll definitely guide you all that
all that work in the very tight place
all right introducing Seco which by the way has some incredible staff very good teachers
clear communication and non-stop advice uh this is our trusty stallion for today we just did a quick
around the block I think they wanted to make sure I knew how to drive right before we went to the
crazy Karachi potentially the hardest driving I've ever done in my life uh seco's Academy is
right here they've got a beautiful shop inside and a bunch of testimonials on the wall maybe I'll add
to the list after I pass my lesson today providing I pass I think it's mostly women working here and
I think they focus on uh educating young women how to drive yes they're uh they want to empower
students as well of course uh Wheels of Change it's a nice slogan so that being said uh
uh let's go drive I'm so excited I'm really excited for this
okay here we go I've got our seat belts on is there actually a law in Pakistan
about seat belts in the back seat also no not on the back seats okay
Safety First
there's a main road turn left from there
is a roundabout and there's a little walk-in yeah
yeah like all methods of transportation in one road here right again
right again
right again it's the longest ride in the world yeah okay right again
we did it right again okay
the bus should go yeah and then as you go behind the bus when I'm stopping here right
right okay
heart pounding
is a four-lane road no paint on it
everyone's house four and a half Lane
man I've never been so close to so many vehicles yeah I could open my window and
shake hands with a motorcycle high five oh hey a red light yeah I've never seen before
that's the first time I've seen a light are there are there stop signs
in in Karachi yeah I've never seen a stop sign do do people stop yeah
sometimes sometimes it's optional depends on the mood yeah it's optional yeah
it's kind of creepy creep over and the motorcycles will know I'm coming
oh my gosh here here yes in this way yeah follow here yeah oh here yeah wait for the binders
the blue one is going to move yeah okay okay
you want to see the congested streets you are taking the country oh here we go
oh my gosh your real test starts now oh yeah
oh that was a total disaster everybody people are staring at me I'm sorry I'm sorry learning
oh I stalled the car because I was nervous and it was so tight around me okay yeah on the road again
okay my anxiety has went up my heart rate has increased and now I'm sweating
oh my gosh I'm nervous my mouth is dry when I was starting I should have brought some fresh lime
this place is making me nervous this is like a road it's like a market it's like a it's a walking
Street everything you will find everything in the street I think the speed bumps were a little bit
ambitious because there's not a lot of speed happening here but we've still got speed bumps
you really got to know the dimensions of your car no can I fit a little bit a little bit left
I got like two inches on each side of me oh my God
oh my gosh OMG
Uber you have to be aware of everything yeah
there's no autopilot in fact I would like to see the the Tesla autopilot
work in correctly I don't think so it's not in 100 years right I don't think so good luck
oh my God that's why we need the passenger side brake pedal sometimes
you want me to turn right so I just have to yeah like how would I even so what do you want to do
just just start going and then don't hit anybody I'm gonna be doing this way which way this way but
how do I go there waiting keep going straight that's fine right whose turn is it just just
you gotta make your own you have to make your way okay okay so don't sit still keep it moving yeah
okay yeah
right after the sky I should go now I should go now what's this
guy oh my gosh the right turns and Karachi is like
whoo you did it now here we have to go which way you want left is good just keep going left please
right so not this way right again trying to cross traffic yes
yes you go after these guys in front of this bus no the bus is not gonna stop the bus is the King
of the Road isn't he yeah he's not gonna stop for me but he's slightly right yeah there we go
yeah so you just stop these guys become a one lane road yeah
he's honking at me sorry everybody what can I do yes
I'm finding driving to be very tiring
you normally take students down here or is this yeah yeah we have nine behind the wheels like nine
practicals okay so probably one or two is for Russia area like this area other than a market
Festival so compared to your other students am I doing similar or much worse be honest
right no you're good you're doing good thanks
oh I've never honked yet I should be honking I want to fill in I think I should honk more
there you go it worked yeah I gotta level up my honking skills and Canada you almost never honk
I think I think in Karachi if you're not honking you're not driving you gotta honk
good to go
so so we're not honking because we're Wheels of Change yeah
keep the rose quiet yeah good these buses just they do what they want so well check both sides
and just keep it moving basically once you stop both sides now this is a fruit market
and every Market is a wholesale Market it's a wholesale market right yeah it's true yeah
huh Steve you're good should I get your water or emergency kit whatever what do you want
it
two minutes break relax
it's okay I'm doing okay it's just tiring because it's like 360 degrees of potential
danger the whole time you've got to be hyper aware Canada they tell you to look at your
mirrors every five seconds or something but nobody does because there's no motor bikes
close to you in Pakistan in Karachi you've got to look in your mirror every five seconds because
there's always bikes like they're handlebars everything this much of your mirror yeah you
can't Veer off you're gonna sideswipe a bike it's tiring but I have a good instructor yes yes
that really is a technique watching gold yeah
try to make your way
you can get the boxing license
today no with practice for just one week ah very good I'll take that yeah
be a Karachi driver in a week I feel like Karachi is some of the hardest driving in the world
if I can't drive here I can drive anywhere I agree with you 100
right now I decided to drive the wrong side of the road yeah okay
I think he's in Canada
he's coming straight at me I'm like I don't know what to do you just have
to dodge those cars oh very nice we're gonna end our drive on Sea View very nice
in here
now right here straight in your car
all right there you have it so how was I oh started off very nervous but with
great instruction comes great success a quick learner I think he should get the
Pakistani driving license he can get it in a week he said yeah really he'll be good wow
without the instruction it would be very hard because uh cannot hesitate there's like a timing
to happen right right and without the instruction go to watch and go I would stop and then it messes
up everyone's timing you've got to kind of force your way through right right but it's going well
yeah and people are knows that you are learning because there is this is why we wanted I'll sign
yeah I'll sign on the car so you're a student see me from a mile away and no this guy's new right
right that was the intention right it's going well okay we'll finish up get back and then
I can relax by the way this is the most I've sweated it feels like I'm exercising my posture
is very bad I'm driving I'm so nervous that I'm like punched it's like tiring you know in
Canada people drive and they fall asleep and Karachi you never fall asleep you're
no alert man yeah there's a lot going on yes all right let's go everybody say hi
all right so I guess they only take the top students out to lunch and so
evidently we'll be going out to lunch again tomorrow because I'm the top of
the top I'm kidding but big shout out to Seco because uh if they can
teach me they can teach anyone and I guess I managed okay thank you so much
the best all right see you guys later
