Parallel Parking for complete beginners in Northolt

How we teach parallel parking

Keep the car slow enough to observe all around and pause whenever another road user may be affected. For complete beginners, the priority is a safe foundation, steady progress and no pressure to move on before you are ready.

• Choose a suitable space and starting position
• Coordinate steering with slow control
• Finish reasonably close and parallel to the kerb

A plan for complete beginners
