Benefits of Trip Planning

Planning a road trip is often viewed as a necessary practical task, but it is truly an exciting part of the journey itself. Whether you are setting out for a major cross-province adventure in a car or van, planning a specialized route for a truck, or mapping a scenic getaway on a motorcycle, taking the time to map out your journey offers far-reaching advantages.

Sports Car Winter Storage in BC

For many sports car, motorcycle, and motorhome enthusiasts across the Lower Mainland, the arrival of autumn marks the bittersweet end of the recreational driving and riding season. As the heavy rains and persistent dampness return, it’s time to prepare your cherished vehicle, whether it’s a sports car or a sporty electric vehicle (EV), for hibernation. While BC winters are generally mild, the combination of high precipitation and pervasive moisture - especially in low-lying areas near the Fraser River like Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, and North Langley - poses a unique challenge for long-term vehicle storage.

Upcoming Changes to the Graduated Licensing Process

For millions of British Columbians, the journey to a full Class 5 driver's licence has long been defined by the two-stage, multi-year Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) process, which concluded with a second road test. In a move that signals the most profound change to driver licensing in over two decades, the BC government is gearing up to scrap that final test, fundamentally altering how new drivers achieve full privileges.

From Setback to Success: ICBC Road Test Retake

Experiencing an unsuccessful road test is disappointing, whether you are testing for a car licence, a truck licence, or a motorcycle licence. It can feel like a setback, but it is certainly not the end of your driving journey. In fact, it is a valuable learning opportunity that can help you become a safer and more confident driver. The road test is a significant demonstration of your readiness to handle various situations on the road, and sometimes, nerves or a few errors can get in the way.

"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"
