Persistent Korean granny still needs to pass the driving exam
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Wor..._950th_Attempt
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? |
