"Testing of the parking skills needed is met by the requirements of entering and backing out of a perpendicular parking space and by other vehicle control requirements," department spokesman Kevin Malone told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "We believe this change makes our drive tests safer and we are still able to maintain the integrity of our mission, putting safe drivers on the road."
A number of other states, including Florida, California and Colorado, have removed parallel parking from their skills tests.
