Green, yellow, red. Go, slow down, stop. Some drivers may think this is all there is to know about traffic lights and signals! Traffic lights and signals are one way of controlling and organizing the flow of traffic, but there is more to know about them than just stop and go.
If you live on the west coast, you’re likely very familiar with fog, but did you know that it can actually be considered a type of low-lying cloud? In this article, we cover why fog lights work the best to navigate these masses of tiny water droplets or ice crystals whenever they appear.
Seatbelts save lives! We all know this now, but seatbelts were not a standard inclusion when automobiles were first introduced and manufactured. These safety devices have come a long way since they were invented, with small innovations and improvements throughout their history, increasing the protection they provide.
Moving people and goods around a country as big as ours requires a lot of power and mass. Most of us have spent time driving on the highway and are familiar with the scene of huge semis and trailers hauling lumber, food products, and merchandise to and from destinations, or the convoy of recreational vehicles on their way to the next city, lake, or campground. These vehicles are massive! They take a lot to get moving and once they are, they can cruise. But that also means they take a lot to slow down and stop.
"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. :)"
