South Korean woman passes driver's exam on 950th try

http://news.aol.com/article/skorean-woman-passes-drivers-exam-on/755777

SEOUL, South Korea -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 5 million won ($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, 68, finally passed the written exam with a score of 60 on Wednesday, said Choi Young-chul, a police official at the drivers' license agency in Jeonju, 130 miles (210 kilometers) 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 license, Choi said.
Repeated calls to Cha seeking comment went unanswered. She told the Korea Times newspaper she needed the license for her vegetable-selling business.

I would've killed myself by the 50th try.

"She told the Korea Times newspaper she needed the license for her vegetable-selling business."

I think she should continue with whatever she's been doing for the past four years.

What's a Skorean?

south korean

 

[Spidey-Bat]

She's old, Asian, and a woman. The worst kind of driver in existence.

 

[Majic Walrus]

This is her, just in case you're in Korea you should probably just avoid this lady.

I really think there should be a fixed number of attempts before you just get denied a license altogether.

good idea

Wow...well I'm glad she passed. I'm a little scared for everyone else on the road though.

I really think there should be a fixed number of attempts before you just get denied a license altogether.

Most states or countries do I though. Here you can test every other week for a maximum of 6 fail attempts before having to wait six months and possibly taking a driver's course at your expense.

Sure, she passed the exam, but she's probably going to fail the actual driving test another 950 times.

Didn't this happen, like a year ago? I could swear there is a thread on this already.

It probably happens often.

 

[SuBe]

Yeah, asian women always try their driving test 900+ times before they get their licenses. (I can say that 'cause my moms is asian )

 

[Mace Dolex]

950th try is ok but if she went for the 951 then that's really pushing it.

Didn't this happen, like a year ago? I could swear there is a thread on this already.

It might've been a story about how she's failed so many times.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'm glad that she finally fulfilled her lifelong dream, and only a few months before she dies in a horrible car wreck. :nostradamus:

 

[chaseter]

Glad I don't live in SKorea or South Korea because it was too hard to type 'South'

 

[SuperFerret]

SKorea is cooler than South Korea. Just say it out loud, it sounds like you're winning with diarrhea.

 

[chaseter]

It sounds like a disease.

 

[Watson]

haha, I failed my drivers test 3 times and just gave up. Mass transit FTW!

It was a woman who hails from the fabled country of Skor.
