Crap driving school names

[PMKeates]

Something I've noticed is that driving schools almost always, always have the crappest names that anyone could ever come up with.

Like today, I came across "Automatic Pass" - how naff is that? I thought it was just an automatic car or something but no, this was actually the school's name.

Other ones that spring to mind are "1st pass" or "1st fred" or "1st lobotomy" or any other random word after "1st".

Another couple I can remember are "Streetlife Driving School" and "Pass with Pam OK" - I mean lol?

Anyone else noticed this theme? How driving schools for some reason have the most cringeworthy names in the known universe!

Me dammit. I have to sit behind the things as they crawl along; the least they could do is not come up with a name that makes me want to puke!

Some people are rather impatient while you're learning to drive. Just because I'm literally 2 seconds slower to get moving than you from a traffic light, doesn't mean you have to beep your horn at me :/

Don't pretend that you won't do exactly the same thing in 10 years time when you're in a hurry for something

The reason is simple - marketing by Yellow Pages.

Names beginning with A and 1 are first in the listings and most people get bored after ringing the first few schools.

Quite. I won't get annoyed when you go slow if you don't get all uptight when I overtake!

That isn't a simple reason for schools that have pants names that don't begin with an A or a 1, lol

I blame these stupid adverts saying: "With Red you can work two hours a day and earn a gazzilion quid"

Just pay them your life savings..

The vehicle L100NEY, a Ford Fiesta Zetec Tdci (5 Door Hatchback), is on our database. To discover its history please continue.

Guess not as they have had this plate for as long as i've lived in Boro, ~ 8 yrs.

That is a classic. I went with "Pwi-Ha Driving School"

Just a one person operation, mental Chinese woman who was an absolute legend!

Driving schools and Hairdressers use the same book to get their names from, I feel.
