The US state driving tests I've heard about or taken also have automatic fails for *touching* anything during parallel parking. And I, also, think it's stupid, because in fact in a tight space touching the cars ahead and behind, for example, is *completely normal*. And touching the curb isn't serious and is also fairly common (though never *deliberate*; whereas touching the cars I do on purpose when necessary).
I'm appalled at how much it's costing you, too. I believe my training cost $15 in the 1970s, plus some time from my parents and some time from a friend.
I'm curious how I'd do on the tests there (I'd have to study the rules, of course, since it's not where I'm used to driving). I've driven there a few times on trips, and didn't feel too seriously outclassed, but such self-evaluations are notoriously unreliable.
