Top Boxes Headboards for Driving Schools
Many instructors ask – is it worth having a driving school roof sign, headboard or top box? There are a number of pros and cons , but really, for most instructors the pros far outweigh the cons:
Pros: Looks more professional, brand recognition, people can instantly get your phone number
Cons: Lower mpg, possibility of vandalism, can’t drive like an idiot between lessons(!), cost
The effect on mpg and the initial cost will be outweighed if just one person per year is influenced to sign up with your driving school through seeing your driving school headboard.
There are two main types of head board – the traditional and the aero.
