SEEN around Pakenham recently has been the hilariously named Skid Marks Driver Training school.
Driving instructor Roy Smith, who owns the school, said the name had attracted plenty of attention since it was first painted on the side of his car four years ago.
“Having chosen what I thought was the best possible name, I then had it painted with the largest possible letters on the car,” he said.
“I get praise and I get negative comments for it, but I figure if someone sees the name it will stick in their minds when they are looking for a driving instructor.”
Skid Marks Driver Training continues a rich tradition of amusingly named businesses in Melbourne.
Tanks a Lot is a local favourite, while Hard Wok Cafe is a popular Chinese Restaruant and Dirty Dogs Done Dirt Cheap cleverly combines hard rock with smelly canines.
