Amusing driving school names?

A friend is on route to becoming an instructor.
As a friend I feel it is my duty to come up with the least crude, rude, filthy or funny driving school names as possible
Do your worst!?
Your friend would probably be doing himself a favour and look more credible if he just used his own name for his buisness eg. 'Joe Bloggs school of motoring,Joe Bloggs driving tuition' etc etc,and not have his car covered in flashy graphics.As a friend I feel it is my duty to come up with the least crude, rude, filthy or funny driving school names as possible

I know a recentley retired driving instructor of 30+ years who reckons all those thousands of mickey mouse driving schools that have sprung up in recent years just scrape the barrel to try and out do each other and come up with the silliest name,he says it just waters down the proffesion.
I can see his point.

I'll do awkward ten-minute three point turns on the main road out of your estate so you can't leave until I'm done.
I'll practice reversing round the corner of the end of your road with the same result as above.
I'll make sure I take my most inexperienced and slow pupils along arterial routes at rush hour.
I'll perceveire and give lesson after lesson after lesson to the most useless imbeciles that might pass their test one day at the millionth attempt through sheer luck rather than skill, and allow those people to be yet another complete liability on our roads for years because I don't care - I'm just making money whatever.
I am doing this right, aren't I OP?

He's probably quite right. One of my best mates is a driving instructor and every time I'm out in the car with him he points out local driving schools with a bad reputation, as some customers come to him after having had a bad experience with another driving school. Quite a few driving schools teach beginners in the area of the city where I work. There are a few quiet estates there with wide roads, yet it's only 5 minutes out of the city centre. Some of them have some very poor drivers/tuition too. I work on those roads and it's not an uncommon scenario that I'll see learner drivers looking out of their depth or doing daft things. I suppose thats all part of the process of learning but when you see the same stunts being pulled by the same driving instructor you do wonder...!Further to that, I got a leaflet through the door today from a well known company touting for business. It has a tagline on the back saying something like "Sick of your driving instructor making illegal phonecalls? Smoking in the car? Eating? Feel like they're not paying you enough attention?". Funny, as if I were to think of driving school where I got the impression that the instructor was disinterested, it would be these guys! On the other hand, you have another well known school of motoring who are reknowned for sitting talking at the roadside for hours with their pupils. I agree that discussion is a necessary part of learning and consolidation but with these guys it seems that you're more likely to see their cars parked up with the learner driver being talked to!
Back to the leaflet anyway, it also has a box on the back advertising unlimited driving lessons with theory and practical tests thrown in for like £1300! You must be a real can if you're booking this sort of thing. And from a company that specialises in passing new drivers in one week. That in itself has never struck me as a good idea, I don't think you can teach everything you need to know and make it stick in a week. They treat it like a maths test. This sort of attitude has no doubt contributed to 'dumbing down' we've seen on the roads in recent years, where the task of driving a vehicle is not really afforded the care and respect it deserves.
