A woman in South Korea has finally passed her driving test after hundreds of attempts - 950 to be exact.

Cha Sa-soon has taken the written exam on a near-daily basis since April 2005.

The test requires 60% to pass but Mrs Cha has repeatedly scored between 30% and 50%.

The 68-year-old grandmother forks out 6,000 won (£2.80) in application fees every time she takes the test.

After 950 tries, that amounts to more than five million won (£2,660).

Mrs Cha has been determined to obtain her licence so that she can get a car to make her door-to-door business a little easier

After that many attempts to pass surely she shouldnt be on the road, maybe they felt sorry for her with her age etc but she could be a danger, I say she should give up,

As a forum admin surely you should set an example and not clutter this board up with streams of non-TRNC related trivia.
