Road signs are everywhere! In fact we’re often bombarded with so many different signs we tend to become numb to them. How is your road sign knowledge? Do you know the 3 ways to identify signs?
In this post, we’ll outline the 3 ways we can read and interpret our road signs and how to identify some of the more unique road signs in British Columbia.
When you’re preparing for your road test, the majority of people are strictly encapsulated in a world of studying driving theory, practicing parallel parking, memorizing which way to turn the wheel on a hill, and other skills required on a road test. Studying and mentally preparing for your road test is important to reaching your goal of a new or upgraded licence, but without a test-ready vehicle, you may be rescheduling that road test appointment.
There are many advantages to being a safe driver for a trucking or transportation company. As a driver employed by a trucking company, drivers can leave work at the workplace, and there is little commitment to the start-up costs associated with being an own owner/operator. You get all the access to the open road you could desire, while avoiding the expenses associated with running a business.
Being distracted while driving is one of the most prevalent causes of accidents on our roads and many distractions occur from use of electronic devices while behind the wheel.
So, what is distracted driving, and how can you avoid being a distracted driver?
"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"

"I just wanted to send along a “Thank You” to all of you at Valley Driving School.
This has been a great experience for both my daughter and myself.
The office staff have been wonderful and always willing and able to sort through scheduling that works for us.
It can be a scary world out there driving our streets and now I know my daughter has been taught properly on how to handle those situations.
She’s a confident relaxed driver and I am a confident relaxed passenger/parent."
"We just wanted to tell you how impressed we were with the professional and thorough instruction our children received over the last several years.
Both kids' instructors were always punctual, polite and patient, giving our kids the knowledge and confidence to drive well and safely. Both passed their 'N' test on the first try. All dealings with the office staff were pleasant as well.
We would not hesitate to recommend Valley Driving to other parents looking for the right place for their children to learn to drive. Please pass our compliments and thanks to instructor! :)
THANK YOU!!!"

"I want to thank my great instructor and helping me overcome my fear of driving.
I have failed the test a couple of times before taking lessons with him and frankly, this is the best investment I have done lately.
He helped me become a better driver, (I will always remember: mirror-signal-shoulder check), have confidence in myself and pass my test.
Great job! Thank you!"

"Amazing staff!!
I had 5 lessons with my Instructor and he was incredible, clear instructions and always updated on things I needed to do better right when they happened.
It felt like he wanted me to succeed not only because its part of his job, but because he genuinely wanted me to. The cost of the lessons were minimal in comparison to everything I have learned and I passed my road test on my first attempt.
Thanks again!"

"My instructor is kind and patient.
She made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and shaped me into the N driver I am today.
Everyone at Valley Driving School is really nice and welcoming. Also, the classroom is a good learning environment.
I highly recommend this driving school. Everyone I know got lessons there. :)"
