South Korean Woman Passes Drivers Test after 960th Try
| Ha! Let nobody mock me on this subject ever again! It only took me five tries the first time... and two when we moved back from Brussels because my American license had expired. But that's because in Cincinnati they don't like people who drive like Belgians -- or like Belgians were in the vicinity. |
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.
| Oh. But I'm still ahead on points. I always got the written part on the first try. |
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.
| They probably miss her, now that she's not coming back. |
