SEOUL: A 68-year-old South Korean woman failed her driving test for the 771st time, but she plans to apply for a 772nd attempt, local media reported
on Thursday.

The woman, identified as Cha and living in Wanju, North Jeolla Province, has kept failing the written exam since her first attempt on April 13, 2005, according to Korea Times.

Applicants can obtain a license after passing a written exam and then a practical driving test.

Cha has sat the written exam almost every day at the Driver's License Agency in the province, except for weekends and holidays. The agency said her number of failed attempts is record-breaking.

Cha, who sells living necessities door to door at apartment complexes, carrying items in a handcart, thought she needed to drive for her job and began to apply for the driver's license.

"I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail. When she passes, I will make a memorial tablet myself and give it to her," Park Jung Seok, a traffic police officer at the agency, was quoted as saying.

We know that she is failing in the written exam. Maybe she would be a good driver...

Wonder if she could pass here (looking at some of the jerks we see on our roads) and convert to a Korean license later?

Did you Google it first?
