A South Korean woman is celebrating after passing the written exam for a driving licence - on her 950th attempt. After four years of trying, 68-year-old Cha Sa-soon finally managed to secure the 60 out of 100 points needed to pass the test.The grandmother has spent more than $4,200 on application fees for the test. Mrs. Cha must now pass the road test to get behind the wheel.
The written test for a Korean driver's license consists of 50 multiple-choice questions on road regulations and car maintenance. Mrs. Cha had been trying to pass it since April 13 2005. She wanted a license so that she could use a vehicle to sell vegetables and other goods, according to reports.
After her 775th attempt back in February, Mrs. Cha told reporters, "I believe you can achieve your goal if you persistently pursue it. So don't give up your dream, like me. Be strong and do your best."
Is it just me, or is anyone else asking whether someone too stupid to pass a driving test within 100 or so attempts should even be allowed on the road?
