South Korean Driver earns license on 960th try

[knapplc]

At some point you would think they would just tell her to stop. How bad must you be to fail the driving test 959 times?

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A South Korean woman who earned a driver's license after 960 tries is ready to buy a car and get behind the wheel.
Yonhap news agency reported Thursday that 69-year-old Cha Sa-soon passed the driving part of the test last month on her 10th try. South Korea requires a written test first, and Cha took it nearly daily since April 2005 before passing last year.

Yonhap quoted her as saying she wanted to buy a small secondhand car to visit her son and daughter and for her business selling vegetables.

Repeated calls seeking comment from her went unanswered.

Officials at the drivers' license agency in Jeonju, 130 miles (210 kilometers) south of Seoul, were not available for comment.

And here's the happy driver:

I was stationed in Korea back when I was in the military. I used to dred having to drive off base, or take a bus up to Seoul. After seeing the way they drive, I do not know how it's even possible to not pass a driving test over there!

I had a buddy in college who was from Nepal. It took him 5 or 6 times to pass his driving test. Then he taught the other Nepali kids at school to drive, which took each of them 8 or 9 tries. It's a vicious cycle. 960 though?! Shouldn't the government just say NO after a certain number. I'm willing to bet money she kills someone before her driving days are over.

960 tries to pass the written test and TEN to pass the driving part?

So NEXUS...

Which attempt at Parallel Parking was this?
