It might cause an argument with your parent/supervisor

You won't actually be arguing about parking: you will be arguing about something far deeper. Work out what it is and you will solve other problems too

You might crash the car

Take the right sized learning steps. Start with easier parking aims, build up confidence and then tackle the more difficult ones

Parking increases wear on the car

Doing lots of non-stop parking can put extra strain on some parts of the car

So before you start get reasonably good at clutch control by driving slowly while steering forwards and in reverse

Then begin to vary the types of parks you do

Learning to park is too hard or too stressful

Consider all the small parts that make up parking; driving forward, reversing, turning. You can learn these quickly and as you do, gradually put the parts together

Don't try and reverse parallel park straight away. Take small steps towards learning how and you'll find you can do it!

Parking can wait until later

Why delay something that can help you learn so much so quickly? By learning to park well early on, the skills of controlling the car will become second nature, and this will help you when you're out on the road

It's not that important

Maybe you think when you get your P's you can choose easy parks. It's not always that simple, and you can end up driving around looking and looking... Sometimes being able to park well can be really handy, and you can impress your friends

Don't know how

Talk to your parent/supervisor or driving instructor and work out the steps that you need to take together
