A South Korean woman passed her driving test—on her 950th attempt.
68-year-old Cha Sa-soon has been taking the written test every day since April 13, 2005, except for weekends and holidays. The test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions on road regulations and car maintenance. She finally scored the requisite 60 percent.
She has spent the equivalent of $4,200 on application fees. She wants a license so that she can drive her vegetables to a local market to sell. She still must get behind the wheel and pass the driving test.
Mrs. Cha, after her 775th failure, said, “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.”
