Driving Tests
After 36 years and the anger of countless drivers, the Division of Motor Vehicles has done away with the parking test as a prerequisite to obtaining a Virginia driver’s license.
DMV Commissioner Vern L. Hill ordered the test-a matter of parking between two sticks laid on the pavement at each end of a marked parking space-discontinued December 1.
“It has been determined,” Hill said, “that such a maneuver does not materially measure driving capabilities called for in modern-day traffic. The discontinuing of this maneuver will permit more emphasis in the on-street maneuvers, which always have been a standard part of the driver license examination.”
He added, “The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators had indicated that states will be placing less emphasis on the parking test.
