The story about Parkside is not so typical. We not only have a passion for traffic safety, we also race cars in competition.

You might be thinking… I don't know if I want my son/daughter taught to drive by some racer… Well, let us explain. The form of racing Parkside competes in requires high precision driving, and the ability to identify and react correctly (and quickly) to risks on the track, weather changes, or changes with the car. As it turns out, those are the exact same skills that make a great driving instructor. It's a little like seeing the future. We often see new drivers' mistakes before they know they're making them.

From this racing history, Parkside has developed a course that does all the things any typical traffic safety course does, but we go beyond that. We believe learning to drive must be a fun, confidence building experience. We believe our students learn and retain information best when they feel safe and when they are not afraid to make a mistake.

If taking a course designed by competition drivers concerns you, let us put you at ease a bit. The #1 priority at Parkside Driving School is safety. We use safe, modern training vehicles with highly visible markings. We have cameras that record outside and inside the vehicle. We have a passenger side brake and mirror. And beyond all that, we have a highly trained staff of instructors that help every student achieve their very best.

Now you might ask, "What else does Parkside do to stand out in the industry?" That's a great question, we're glad you asked! The owners of Parkside are deeply involved in advocating for traffic safety in several ways. We believe driving schools must adapt to the needs of the customers. Parkside insists on using data and statistics to make our programs meet those needs, and if that means uncomfortable change is necessary, we embrace it. We don't want to seem like we're bragging, but here are a few of the ways we lead the industry.
