Approved April 8, 1954
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 46-365 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 46-365. The Division of Motor Vehicles shall examine every appli-
cant for an operator’s or chauffeur’s license before issuing any such license,
except as otherwise provided in § 46-347. 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 §§ 46-353 to 46-358, but such examination
shall not include investigation of any facts other than those directly per-
taining 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 parking space between horizontal markers and not between
flags or sticks simulating parked vehicles.
