@DreJohnson1 most ppl on the road can’t drive already, now their kids will be worse. If they tap my Audi I’m tapping their window #Jsullivan — Fonté Blue (@KushSinatra) May 21, 2015
Cornell Willis Writing cursive no longer required, parallel parking now, what’s next, no silverware used at fine dining restaurants? You need that skill to drive effectively.
MrTerrence Teel Absolutely ludicrous… parallel parking is a necessity living in Baltimore.
Fred Coleman Bad idea! People need that skill and who’s going to teach it if it’s no longer a requirement?
Patricia Ray It’s still apart of the curriculum for driving school so expect that part to be a must to pass driving school
Tavon Davis Well whats the point of the instructor? bc with no parallel parking the test is dumb easy…so since they want to pass out “Free” licenses do away with them instructors … 💯
Charles Smith The world has been turned upside down…you know longer have to use your mind to accomplish anything. Parallel parking, the most strategic part of the test defines if you’re able to determine distance and how to maneuver between other vehicles. Anybody c.f. a drive a straight line and stop at a red light. Doesn’t make any sense to me.
Arealdivaatheart Jenkins Absurdity at it finest!! People with licenses already have issues passing this task. Why make it that much easier for them to hit vehicles, drive up insurance rates (more than they are). Well I guess just like minimizing the grades to pass in high school just to get the numbers in worked, this will too. Smdh
Gains Bond foolish
Coco Mikele Ridiculous!!!!
Cornell Cjaudio Johnson I’m cool with it because I need my girl to get her licence next month so I don’t have to keep driving her around lol
Terrence Boone We all had to parallel park when we took the drivers test, It’s not fair that they get to short cut getting a license these days, Seems they just handing licenses out to anybody these days, Smh
Arealdivaatheart Jenkins See I try to keep my cool but EXPERIENCED ACTUAL INSURANCE PAYING (LET ME BREAK IT ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR YOU) INSURANCE RATES INCREASE WHEN IDIOTS THAT CAN’T PARK HIT SOMEONE. SO BEFORE ANYONE IS QUICK TO CALL SOMEONE AN IDIOT. PLEASE GOOGLE YA DAMN INFO FIRST. OR GET ON YOUR OWN INSURANCE FIRST IDIOT!!!!
_ryolo_ Makes it easier for me lol
iamdjbunk Happy 😊
mr_wonder27 I think they should keep it..it wouldnt make any sense to remove it..you u know how many accidents its gonna be now?? Especially for our young drivers
alliiiizonme I agree with @winterzgirl …so I guess folks will spend hours riding around until they can find a spot to pull in!
officialsupamega Whoever thought of that idea needs to be fired and sentence to paying for all parallel parking accidents fees going forward for anyone who has an accident during a parallel parking segment because of their stupidity…Now your gonna have more none driving azz people passing the driving test, and parking head in when they have to park parallel on some of these streets….WHOSE THE GENIUS BEHIND THIS STUPID RULE? LET ME MEET THEM! PARALLEL IS VITAL…And now these females gonna be hugging these curves ruining their rims and more….i can give u a lot of good reasons that this is stupid…
whthershey209 People can’t drive as it is. Keep it on the test
successful_tony This will cause a lot of accidents because ppl already can’t drive now they not going to kno how to park smh #gm Dre
modemkilla I already have my license, but they need to keep it on there because I’ve seen to many fools that can’t park!! 🙀💯👍
living_lovin15 GM… There are so many who can’t drive and park as is… And they holla it’s another test already that demonstrates it! (The 2 pt turn)Bs! This is vital for those especially them gas happy folks! Sum ppl bout to start getting they tail smacked I c it now
gpc_life Bumpers beware! Cars are about to get tore up!!!
living_lovin15 I had hidden cameras installed around my car when first buying .Was costly but now I guess it’s gonna be worth it😩Ima catch somebody tags and car slipping . I be damned if Ima keep doing thru insurance . I hate when cars look busted up driving 😩
coco784 Just another reason for people insurance to go up
m1a.00 Horrible idea!
ashley_brooke6_ Better not live in the city then lol
showtyme220 Its still a requirement in driving school just not at the road test at MVA
pinkjimmychoo Whaaat??!? Maryland is already the WORST when I comes to driving! Are they going to atleast teach them to park correctly in a regular parking spot?? Wtf Maryland get your life together lol
__spankyyy It’s unfortunate that everything is made easy to this generation, that’s why these kids/people aren’t afraid to lose anything it’s all given, the test consist of what now?!? Stopping at a stop sign and backing up in a straight line. Smh
sinsational_cakes_shia Gm @drejohnson1 lord knows some people already don’t know how to parallel park, so I guess its going ro be much worse now.
britt.belle It’s still gonna be taught in driving school though
