Kolhapur: Driving lessons can be the pits, especially for a beginner. This was exactly the case for a woman who was taking driving lessons from her husband in Kolhapur. She drove their car into an eight-foot deep pit in the Rajarampuri area of the district. The incident occurred in the maidan of Municipal School No. 9 on Friday.
The municipality had dug up a huge pit in the school playground to lay water pipes. Unfortunately, this pit went unnoticed by the driver-in-training. During her lesson, she lost control of the car and along with her husband, ended up inside the pit, with no injuries. However, the car got the worst of it in the driving debacle and was badly damaged. The couple had to call the authorities for help and the car had to be extricated from the pit with the help of a crane.
