Long a hub for the art community due to the low cost of living, Port Moody has become well known for festivals, art shows, and craft and artisan events that are attended from throughout the region. They also house substantial industry with two petrochemical terminals, a deep water port that handles lumber products, and a geothermal electrical plant. These varied interests are balanced successfully with Port Moody’s dedication to the environment, having earned the International Award for Livable Communities – Planning for the Future by the United Nations in part through aggressive water monitoring, environmental volunteer involvement, hatcheries and botanic restoration projects, and a full ban on pesticides.

When traveling around Port Moody you quickly learn there are a lot of bridges and crossings that traverse the over 40 streams in town.  Driving lessons Port Moody based may focus on passing the test, possibly missing out on ensuring the important foundational skills are solid. Teaching to the test may leave the new driver missing or weak on many of the basic skills necessary to become a confident driver.

My name is Marcy and I owned one of the top driving schools in the region for 16 years. I have been a licensed, certified driving instructor for even longer. I often had students sent to me to “get fixed” by other driving instructors, students whom had often failed their road test a number of times and spent a lot of money on driving schools that did not get the job done. I quickly realized these students all had one thing in common – they had never acquired a good solid foundation of driving skills. The reason this has become more pronounced these days is because kids in vehicles do not watch, at least the driver, any longer, because they can look at their electronic devices instead. They miss out on absorbing the information naturally before they are even old enough to drive. These students had searched online for help after being disqualified by the examiner on basics like how and when to shoulder check correctly. I decided something needed to be done, and I spent over two years creating the step-by-step, driver’s seat view, easy to understand video fundamental skills series in Digital Driver Education. View-able as many times as you want or need, the entire program is an affordable $197 for a whole year of access.  If you ever have a question, you can reach out to me at the head office and I will answer your questions.
