SKorean granny fails driving test 771 times


A dogged South Korean grandmother has failed her driving test 771 times, police said Thursday, but a local newspaper reported she will keep trying. Skip related content
The 68-year-old, identified only by her last name Cha, has taken the test almost every working day since 2005 in the southwestern city of Jeonju. She failed again Monday for the 771st time.

"It was a record-breaking number here," Choi Yong-Cheol, a police sergeant supervising the test in the city's Deokjingu district, told AFP.

"I wonder if she will try it again for a 772nd time."

The Korea Times said Cha will in fact be back for another attempt.

Choi said that Cha cannot pass the preliminary written section of the test, averaging scores of 30-50 whereas the pass mark is 60 out of 100.

Local media said that Cha sells food and household items door to door at apartment complexes, carrying the items in a handcart, but wants to get a car for her business.

Police estimate she has spent almost five million won (3,600 dollars) to take the written test, with each test costing 6,000 won in addition to other expenses.

"I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail. When she passes, I'll make a commemorative tablet myself and give it to her," one officer was quoted as saying.

first time theory, third time practical, first fail was because the worlds widest taxi couldnt squeeze past me at a junction, second time was the most ridiculous reason, the examiner felt he moved in his seat to much going round 1 corner... total bull

third time i passed with 5 minors

I think it was Clarkson that said if you fail your test more than 3 times, you should start to think about the bus

For me...first time theory and second time practical. Failed first practical due to reversing round a corner when there was a car coming the other way. I remember vividly it was some dumb rep in a silver E46 520i, he didn't even indicate at the junction after it.

Crazy to think that was 10 and a half years ago...same weekend as World Cup final and the British GP
