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.

"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"
