Woman passes driving test after 960th try

We like to think of ourselves as pretty determined folk here the United States. After all, our forebearers forged our country out of a wild and unsettling terrain, fought off tyrants, cooked up some of the most amazing inventions of the last century and helped populate a symbol of diversity and freedom renowned the world over. That doesn't mean that we'd willingly subject ourselves to the DMV 960 times, however. Yet that's exactly what a Korean woman, Cha Sa-soon, did on her quest to obtain her driver's license. Despite copious studying, the 69-year-old Cha just couldn't manage to get past the written portion of the exam.

In April 2005, she began taking the 50-minute, 40-question test once a day, five days week, failing each time. Eventually her pace slowed to taking the test twice a week, but on the 960th try, she managed to get enough of the questions right to pass.

Local news outlets ran with the story, and it wasn't long before the tale caught the ear of Hyundai-Kia. The company asked people to post congratulatory messages online, and after an overwhelming response, Kia handed her the keys to a brand-new Soul.

We like her style.

WHAT?! WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO DRIVE NOW?

[Zhais]

It takes her that many tries to pass the test, and they REWARD her for that by giving her a brand new car?!?!? Really?

[Heavencloud]

Korean woman. Lol asian drivers.

Idk about where you guys live but where I live we only have 3 different set of test sheets. If it took her 960 tries to get a good percentage of 40(3) answers correct, I don't think she should ever be allowed to drive, much less be congratulated for it.

that's fucking stupid.

[EckoGecko]

What the fuck...I passed my written/driving test 1st try, within 3 days...Where's my fucking car?

[notorious bum]

Technically you don't pass after the 960th attempt... she just managed to retain the answers after alzheimers kicked her ass all those years.

Shouldn't allow people to take the test after an umpteenth attempt lol

[Xno Kappa]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa...Why the hell was she allowed outside the kitchen?

[Mayareira]

Wonder how many frags she's gonna have.

She's 89 years old. Clearly qualifies for some sort of AARP voucher for free DMV services.
