About this certification
Parallel parking is the one driving maneuver routinely performed in front of strangers, often with someone waiting behind you. This program teaches the reference-point method used by driving instructors, so that each part of the maneuver has a clear trigger rather than relying on guesswork.
Level II certification recognises a clean park on the first attempt, finished within legal distance of the curb. Because skills fade and cars change, this credential requires recertification every 24 months. The Board regrets the inconvenience and notes that your insurer may feel the same way.
