950th Time Is The Charm For Learner Driver
10:06am UK, Friday November 06, 2009

Jo Couzens, Sky News Online

A woman in South Korea has finally passed her driving test after hundreds
of attempts - 950 to be exact.

Cha Sa-soon has taken the written exam on a near-daily basis since April
2005.

The test requires 60% to pass but Mrs Cha has repeatedly scored between 30%
and 50%.

The 68-year-old grandmother forks out 6,000 won (£2.80) in application fees
every time she takes the test.

After 950 tries, that amounts to more than five million won (£2,660).

Mrs Cha has been determined to obtain her licence so that she can get a car
to make her door-to-door business a little easier.

At the moment she delivers food and household items to her customers in a
handcart.

But now she has finally passed the written exam with a score of 60,
according to police official Choi Young-chul.

However, Mrs Cha will not be buying a new motor just yet - she still needs
to pass the driving part of the exam before she gets her licence.

The grandmother has become a familiar figure at the drivers' license agency
in Jeonju, 130 miles south of Seoul.

In February this year, after Mrs Cha had failed her 771st attempt, traffic
police officer Jung-seok said: "I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail.

"When she passes, I'll make a commemorative tablet myself and give it to
her."

Wow.  An Asian that can't drive.  What's next?   A black that can play
basketball?

If they'd offered her a dogburger, she'd have passed first time.

SFB the racist american (sic) spewed:

>If they'd offered her a dogburger, she'd have passed first time.

IS that what they offered you when you took the test or do you drive
without a license?
