plicant for an operator’s or chauffeur’s license before issuing any such li-
cense, except as otherwise provided in § 46.1-349 provided, that no
applicant shall be examined or further considered for licensing within
any period of twelve months in which he has been previously examined
three times. The Division shall examine the applicant as to his physical
and mental qualifications and his ability to operate a motor vehicle in
such manner as not to jeopardize the safety of persons or property and as
to whether any facts exist which would bar the issuance of a license under
§§ 46.1-357 through 46.1-362, but such examination shall not include in-
vestigation of any facts other than those directly pertaining to the ability
of the applicant to operate a motor vehicle with safety, or other than
those facts declared to be prerequisite to the issuance of a license under
this chapter and no applicant otherwise competent shall be required to
demonstrate ability to park any motor vehicle except in an adequate park-
ing space between horizontal markers and not between flags or sticks
simulating parking vehicles.
