The Unseen Differences: Stopping in a Car vs a Semi-Truck

Have you ever wondered what goes into truly safe driving? It's more than just knowing the speed limit or where the lane lines are. It's about how we react to the road, the weather, and even the vehicle we're in. While we get used to the vehicles we drive every day, it's easy to forget that not all vehicles handle the same way, especially when it comes to something as critical as stopping.

Burnaby's Hidden Gems: Unique Spots to Practice Driving

Learning to drive is an exciting journey, and the key to becoming a confident and safe driver is practice. While driving lessons provide a foundational structure, the hours spent honing skills between sessions are just as important.

"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"
