Though she can drive many heavy vehicles, she loves to drive buses and trucks.

Radhamani TK is a native of Thoppumpady. She has more than 32 years of driving experience. She never met with a single accident in her driving. This shows how careful she is while driving a vehicle.

She obtained a light motor vehicle licence in 1981 and a heavy vehicle licence in 1988.
