950th Time Lucky [NEWS]

This November, A woman by the name of Cha Sa-soon managed to pass her driving test at the grand age of 68. It's not uncommon that a person will take more than 1 attempt at passing a driving test, however it would be fair to say Cha Sa-soon isn't a natural driver. In fact, it took her 950 times to pass her test, meaning that she ended up spending over $4000 in application fees.



I've got alot of respect for this woman for persevering. I think by the 50th time of failing I'd begin to question whether I was destined to drive or not. In fact, I'd probably considering investing in a bicycle. Cha Sa-soon has been trying to past her test since April 2005, and claims that she wanted to pass her test to buy a car which would be used for her "vegetable-selling business".

To be honest, if I wanted potatoes delivered to my home, I'd probably choose not to hire Cha Sa-soon. Having a person who failed their driving test 949 times would probably mean my potatoes would be abit battered upon arrival. On the plus side, they'd probably arrive mashed, which would save me some time.
