Parallel parking lessons in Glasgow
Parallel parking trips up more Glasgow test candidates than any other manoeuvre. Empty supermarket bays don't simulate it — what we drill is the real thing: a 5.5-metre gap between two resident cars on a Knightswood terrace, with traffic passing.

What we focus on for parallel parking in Glasgow
The manoeuvre is one of three the examiner picks at random on the day — parallel, forward bay, or pull up on the right and reverse. Parallel is the highest-pressure of the three because it has the smallest margin.
Anniesland routes typically push you onto Crow Road and out toward Drumchapel; Shieldhall routes use the Govan Road and Helen Street loop; Baillieston routes lean on the dual carriageway out toward Easterhouse and the M73 slip.
Who this is for: Pupils preparing for test at Glasgow (Baillieston), post-test drivers struggling with on-street parking, refresher pupils.
