5-1-1: The Travellers Information System

Having access to real-time road and traffic information is essential for any driver, and this is where the 5-1-1 phone service and website 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.

Tips to Teach Your Teen to Drive

Teaching a teenager to drive is a pivotal milestone for both the teen and their guardian. It marks a step towards independence and responsibility, but it also comes with its own set of challenges and concerns. As a parent or guardian, you want to ensure your teen is well-prepared to handle the complexities of driving safely and confidently.

Driving for Delivery Services

The demand for delivery services is ever-increasing, which means that delivery drivers are in high demand! Whether it’s delivering packages, food, or groceries, there are plenty of opportunities for drivers as long as they are organized, quick, and friendly.

History of Cars

Unlike most inventions, the car was not created by just one person doodling a picture on a scrap piece of paper. There were a series of parts such as wheels, gears and the engine that needed to be created first. The first car was a collaboration of ideas and inventions that took over 5000 years to come together!

"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"
