Guide to Getting Your BC Air Brake Endorsement

Are you considering becoming a professional driver hauling goods from Langley to Lillooet? Or perhaps you're planning an epic cross-Canada adventure in your motorhome? In British Columbia, if your vehicle is equipped with air brakes, you'll need the proper qualifications.

Dry Steering and Why You Should Avoid It

Cars can be an expensive proposition. It's not just the purchase price, either: insurance, maintenance, and fuel expenses also contribute significantly. Most folks are looking for ways to take low-cost-or-no-cost steps to extend the life of their vehicles and reduce wear and tear.

Mandatory Driver Testing for Seniors

The debate around mandatory retesting for elderly drivers is a complex and often contentious issue, balancing the need for public safety with the desire to maintain independence for older adults. As the population ages, this discussion becomes increasingly relevant.

Navigating the Road with Confidence As a New Driver

Congratulations on becoming a new driver! Moving from a learner to a novice driver is a huge milestone, and it's a moment worth celebrating. There's something incredibly liberating about driving solo for the first time. It can also feel a bit strange or overwhelming, and with the freedom to go where you want and when you want, new solo drivers should approach this new responsibility with care. This means planning your route in advance, giving yourself ample time, and getting comfortable in your vehicle before you even start the engine. It also means knowing what not to do, such as using your mobile phone while driving, rushing, or giving in to pressure from other drivers. Whether you're heading to work, running errands, or simply enjoying a drive, make sure you're driving safely, confidently, and comfortably.

"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"
