Winter in British Columbia can be brutal, especially for your car! Frigid temperatures can turn a simple morning commute into a frustrating ordeal, and that can start before you even hit the road if your vehicle doesn’t start up. We're here to help you navigate winter's challenges with confidence, even if that help starts while you’re still in the driveway.

As we spring forward or fall back an hour during daylight saving time, it is important to consider how this change in time might affect your driving. This article will take a look at the potential effects of daylight saving time on your visibility, fatigue, weather conditions, routines, and the likelihood of traffic accidents.
Having access to real-time road and traffic information is essential for any driver, and this is where the 5-1-1 phone service andwebsite come in handy. The 5-1-1 system is a national traveller information service in Canada and the United States that provides drivers with important updates on road conditions, weather alerts, construction, and traffic incidents. While the service is invaluable for everyday commuters, it's also a great tool for long-distance travellers, outdoor enthusiasts, and commercial drivers.
Please note: this service, along with other government services and ad campaigns, may be paused or unavailable during election periods.
"A special “Thank You” to you. From what I was told, you never let my daughter put her guard down. Good for you.
I appreciate all the hard work and dedication you’ve given to my daughter. I will recommend Valley Driving School to as many people as I can.
Again, “Thank You” to everyone. Who knows…maybe my daughter will be back for other types of drivers training ie: motorcycle, standard, or even semi-trucks. Could happen. She ‘loves’ to drive.
Best regards"

"I just wanted to send along a “Thank You” to all of you at Valley Driving School.
This has been a great experience for both my daughter and myself.
The office staff have been wonderful and always willing and able to sort through scheduling that works for us.
It can be a scary world out there driving our streets and now I know my daughter has been taught properly on how to handle those situations.
She’s a confident relaxed driver and I am a confident relaxed passenger/parent."
"We just wanted to tell you how impressed we were with the professional and thorough instruction our children received over the last several years.
Both kids' instructors were always punctual, polite and patient, giving our kids the knowledge and confidence to drive well and safely. Both passed their 'N' test on the first try. All dealings with the office staff were pleasant as well.
We would not hesitate to recommend Valley Driving to other parents looking for the right place for their children to learn to drive. Please pass our compliments and thanks to instructor! :)
THANK YOU!!!"

"I want to thank my great instructor and helping me overcome my fear of driving.
I have failed the test a couple of times before taking lessons with him and frankly, this is the best investment I have done lately.
He helped me become a better driver, (I will always remember: mirror-signal-shoulder check), have confidence in myself and pass my test.
Great job! Thank you!"

"Amazing staff!!
I had 5 lessons with my Instructor and he was incredible, clear instructions and always updated on things I needed to do better right when they happened.
It felt like he wanted me to succeed not only because its part of his job, but because he genuinely wanted me to. The cost of the lessons were minimal in comparison to everything I have learned and I passed my road test on my first attempt.
Thanks again!"

"My instructor is kind and patient.
She made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and shaped me into the N driver I am today.
Everyone at Valley Driving School is really nice and welcoming. Also, the classroom is a good learning environment.
I highly recommend this driving school. Everyone I know got lessons there. :)"
