The History of Seatbelts

Seatbelts save lives! We all know this now, but seatbelts were not a standard inclusion when automobiles were first introduced and manufactured. These safety devices have come a long way since they were invented, with small innovations and improvements throughout their history, increasing the protection they provide.

Hitting the Brakes: Hydraulic vs Air

Moving people and goods around a country as big as ours requires a lot of power and mass. Most of us have spent time driving on the highway and are familiar with the scene of huge semis and trailers hauling lumber, food products, and merchandise to and from destinations, or the convoy of recreational vehicles on their way to the next city, lake, or campground. These vehicles are massive! They take a lot to get moving and once they are, they can cruise. But that also means they take a lot to slow down and stop.

How Many Driving Lessons Should You Take?

Driving lessons are about more than just passing your road test, they’re about developing drivers that have the skills and training to contribute to an attitude of safety and confidence on the road. Whether you’re a new driver learning the ropes for the first time, or an experienced driver looking for a refresher course, there’s a training program that’s been developed just for you.

"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"
