No Parking
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 Dec. 1.
"It has been determined," Hill said
yesterday, "that such a maneuver does not
materially measure driving capabilities called
for in modern-day traffic."
"Th discontinuing of this maneuver will
permit more emphasis on the on-street
maneuvers, which always have been a standard
part of the driver's license examination."
