The 3 Most Common Test Route Surprises at the Chilliwack ICBC Centre

Chilliwack’s unique blend of bustling downtown streets, quiet residential areas, and roads bordering agricultural zones means you'll encounter a diverse range of driving environments if you’re attempting an ICBC road there. Being prepared for these "surprises" isn't about memorizing a specific path, but rather understanding common local challenges and how to confidently navigate them. Building driving skills and confidence that allow you to handle anything, even a road test, is key.

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.

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. For new drivers in Burnaby, finding the right place to practice can sometimes be a challenge because busy main roads can be intimidating, and neighbourhood streets can present unexpected variables. The ideal practice location is a place where a learner can focus on the mechanics of driving in a low-stress environment.

"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"
