SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- One could say she has the determination ... but lacks the drive. A 68-year-old South Korean woman this week signed up to take her driving test once again -- after failing to earn a license the first 771 times. The woman, identified only as Cha, first took the written portion of the exam in April 2005, said Choi Young-cheol of the Driver's License Agency in the southwestern city of Jeonju. At the time, she made her living selling goods door-to-door and figured she would need a car to help her get around, Choi told CNN. She failed the test. She retook the test the next day and failed again. And again. And again. "You have to get at least 60 points to pass the written part," said Kim Rahn, who wrote about the unflappable woman in the Korea Times, an English-language daily. "She usually gets under 50." In the beginning, Cha went to the license office almost every day. Now, she no longer works but still turns up once a week, Choi said. The office estimates she has spent more than 4 million won ($2,888) in exam fees. Cha's last failed attempt was Monday. She tries for the 772nd time either Thursday or Friday at this point she is probably just taking the exam as something to do lol. I dont understand how she can continuously fail the written portion... you do something over 700 times and you'd think you would be able to remember written answers.
4 million won ($2,888) is a lot of money well, its good that she is persistent on her goal, but who would've thought after 700 tries is the charm
lol....shes probably getting too old to drive... i mean come on..... reality is that if shed get her license now shes only allowed to drive for what.... 10 years before her sight etc is getting bad no? thats just a waste of time n money.... FAIL
she's determined she is....but even if she passes te theory...she still gota do her practical.....which might be harder for her.....=X
^ lol she wont get to do her practical........the marker will shit himself and run away when he sees how many times shes failed at the theory
^ omgg that line is so corny... at 1st i thought ya mean it took her 772 tries for her practical....but 772 for theory...whoaa shes persistent
Did she even bother to get that booklet to help her learn some of the questions they'll be asking, that test is so easy. and only 60%, thats kinda low already. It's no wonder why so many news about car accidents in Korea with celebs.
Well its like a hobby to her now... lol "So what are your hobbies?" "Oh me? I take driving tests for fun."
Gotta admit that the woman has a drive to succeed. Even though it would appear she is stuck on the road to failure.
