Baker Boy 1,485 Posted February 22, 2020 LAS VEGAS — Nevada state driving officials have removed the parallel parking portion of driver tests. The Department of Motor Vehicles removed the parallel parking section Jan. 13 from the licensing exam because it led to too many retests, KVVU reported. https://www.wsoctv.com/news/trending/nevada-dmv-removes-parallel-parking-driver-test/E3KV7UHSNRBGHEDVCLEOCQ33II/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad GLuckman 518 Posted February 22, 2020 It shouldn't be on the test. parallel parking is a choice, not a requirement for driving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Observer 641 Posted February 22, 2020 In the small town I grew up in, I wouldn't have survived without knowing how to parallel park. Parking was tight on my street. You were lucky if there was 12" in front and in back of your car when you were parked. Don't need to use it much these days, but every now and then it's nice to have the skill when it's your only option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,558 Posted February 23, 2020 In the parts of the US and Canada that I've been in, there is no need to paralell park. I know how and the skill would be useful in China if I ever get a car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bostonlager 2,463 Posted February 23, 2020 Ohio removed before I got my license (1996). It was replaced with this drive up and veer right or left (tester chose at random) and then back up the same way without hitting any cones. That said I know how to parallel park and rather well. I can fit a monster truck into a space designated for a f@ggy Prius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This the type of dude that would catch an ass whoopin in real life Uhh, I said I needed to learn how to parallel park because of the town I grew up in. Go back and see who needed to pick a fight. I know it do that I destroy you every time run your mouth, but don't let that blind you to what really goes on around here. Again, go review the thread and you let me know who started the fight. Don't go into hiding now. Get back to us. Thanks in advance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted February 23, 2020 Our city switched from angled parking to parallel parking on its main streets last year. Shop owners are not happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intense Observer 344 Posted February 23, 2020 Parallel parking is a skill every man should have, just like driving a stick. Neither are very practical nor used much in this modern era of tech and pussification, but they are a hat tip to our fathers and grandfathers who were required to have those skills and if they were worth a damn taught us those skills in our youth. What would be a very practical skill to teach and require for driving tests nowadays is how to reverse into a parking spot. And what the left lane means.
