Korean woman’s driving test joy… after 950 attempts

Published by onlines on November 6, 2009


Seoul – A woman in South Korea who tried to pass the written exam for a driver’s license with near-daily attempts since April 2005 has finally succeeded on her 950th time.

The aspiring driver spent more than $4 200 in application fees, but until now had failed to score the minimum 60 out of a possible 100 points needed to get behind the wheel for a driving test.

Cha Sa-soon+2Cha Sa-soon, 68, finally passed the written exam with a score of 60 on Wednesday, said Choi Young-chul, a police official at the drivers’ licence agency in Jeonju,  210km south of Seoul.

Police said Cha took the test hundreds of times, but had no specific total. Local media said she took the test 950 times.

Now she must pass a driving test before getting her licence, Choi said.

Repeated calls to Cha seeking comment went unanswered. She told the Korea Times newspaper she needed the licence for her vegetable-selling business.
