Driver passes exam on 950th try
6th November 2009
A WOMAN in South Korea who tried to pass the written exam for a driver's licence with near-daily attempts since April 2005 has finally succeeded on her 950th attempt.
The aspiring driver spent more than five million won ($A4,683) 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, 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.
Cha told the Korea Times newspaper she needed the licence for her vegetable-selling business.
