Parallel parking is one of the skills that worries most learners. It looks tricky, but it’s not. At ILKER Driving School in Chigwell, we break it down into small, clear steps.

Here’s the thing. Many learners panic when they see a tight parking space. They rush or steer too much. That’s when mistakes happen. We teach you to slow down, think clearly, and stay in control.

The first step is choosing the right spot. It needs to be at least one and a half times your car’s length. We show you how to judge this quickly without second guessing.

Next, you learn to use reference points. Knowing when to turn the wheel is key. We help you practice these points until they feel natural.

Speed control is just as important. Going too fast often leads to poor positioning. We train you to move slowly but confidently, using gentle steering and steady control of the pedals.

We also focus on mirrors. Many learners forget to check for pedestrians or cyclists while parking. With our method, you’ll know when to look and what to look for.

What this really means is that parallel parking is not about luck or fancy tricks. It’s about patience, practice, and good habits.

Chigwell is an excellent place to learn this skill. The mix of narrow streets and busy areas gives you plenty of real situations to build your parking confidence.

At ILKER Driving School, we make sure you can park with ease anywhere. By the time you’re done, parallel parking won’t feel like a challenge. It will feel like just another part of driving.
