"The kids have been blowing it up on social media. The MVA did not announce the change publicly, rather electing just to notify driver's education programs and driving schools, but word spread quickly as teenagers found out, Young said. Maryland joins a number of states that have dropped parallel parking requirements from driver's tests, although neighboring Pennsylvania and West Virginia still require it. People that can't parallel park, just avoid it." "Like the MVA said, if they can do the reverse two-point turn, they can certainly have the skills for operating a car in a tight area," he said. Widmyer said he supports MVA's decision, noting that parallel parking is a nonessential maneuver to safe driving. As required, parallel parking will remain a part of the 36-hour program that includes six hours of on-road training offered by Widmyer Driving School in Hagerstown, owner Joe Widmyer said.
