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 south of Seoul.
Now she must pass a driving test before getting her license, Choi said.

Are you kidding me? What a joke? She needs to stay on her bicycle. At least they have freedoms and cars in South Korea. In North Korea, she would have been imprisoned with hard labor for failing this many times…
