How to Manage Driver Fatigue

You may have had a moment when you were driving and you felt your eyes close for just a second too long. Jolting back awake behind the wheel can be an unsettling experience and it’s a signal from your body that it is time to adjust your plan. Understanding how to manage drowsiness is not about fear; it is about equipping yourself with the right tools to stay sharp, whether you are commuting through Abbotsford or navigating the busy routes of Langley.

 

BC Dashcam Guide 2026

The technology we use behind the wheel has evolved rapidly, turning our vehicles into smart hubs designed to protect us. From the busy intersections of Surrey to the quiet subdivisions of Aldergrove, drivers are increasingly turning to digital recording to document their daily commutes. A dashcam serves as a practical insurance policy that sits right on your windshield, ready to capture everything the road throws your way.

BC Rest Stop Etiquette and Safety Guide

British Columbia is a vast province with over 700,000 kilometers of road, and traveling between regions often requires hours of focused driving. For instance, the drive from Burnaby to Kelowna can take upwards of five hours under ideal conditions. Drivers of commercial trucks hauling freight and motorcycle riders on weekend tours alike find that regular breaks are a natural, necessary part of the journey. These stops provide a necessary moment to stretch, grab a coffee, and appreciate the dramatic scenery that makes our province world-famous.

The Diverse Future of BC Fuel

For many learning to drive in 2026, the vehicle they use for practice likely looks and sounds different than it did just a few years ago. The transition to alternative fuels for automobiles and commercial vehicles is no longer a distant concept but a daily reality on our local streets. From the quiet hum of electric cars in residential neighborhoods to the diverse fleet of public transit buses serving the Lower Mainland, the way we power our transportation is shifting rapidly.

"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"
