South Korean woman fails driver's test 775 times

SEOUL, Feb 21 - A South Korean woman who has failed the driver's exam 775 times is not about give up on her hope of buying a truck one day to go into her own business, whether other drivers want her on the road or not. Skip related content

Cha Sa-soon, 68, has been trying since 2005 to pass the written portion of the test to get a licence, but she has so far failed to get the 60 percent required to clear it.

"I've looked up some guidebooks to get a driver's licence, and they were saying it takes at most five years to get this," Cha said in North Jeolla province, where farmers on tractors or cows can be just as common on country roads as motor vehicles.

"It's already been four years, so I might pass the test next time. That's what I hope for."

Driving schools in South Korea offer courses to enable applicants to walk away with a licence in a week. Cha has not been fortunate enough to set foot in such a class, which tends to congregate more in busy metropolitan areas, but she remains unfazed, even after having spent more than 10 million won ($6,800) on test applications.

"I believe you can achieve your goal if you persistently pursue it," she says. "So don't give up your dream, like me. Be strong and do your best."
I guess that test must be pretty hard.

I'm pretty sure a chimp could pass a multiple choice test in less tries than that. You would think she would have the correct answers memorized after a while.

Makes me feel a heck of a lot better about failing the driving test one time. Got a little to nervous and clipped a curb on a turn.

That sort of tenacity should be rewarded.

I just hope that our governments don't allow Korean licenses over here.

If she spent that much money, why didn't she pay the money for the class and hotel for a week since it's in a metro area?

Damn. They need to place a limit on how many times you're allowed to attempt the test.

If you suck THAT much at driving, you shouldn't be driving at all.
