| South Korean granny fails driving test 771 times
SEOUL (AFP) A dogged South Korean grandmother has failed her driving test 771 times, police said Thursday, but a local newspaper reported she will keep trying.
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.

Geez... it's not even the driving part of the test that she's failing... she's failing the WRITTEN part. How stupid can you be to fail that 771 times?

OK really after 771 times, you'd think that the woman would start getting some of the same questions and picking up on the answers...

last time i heard.. written test in Korea is very tricky.. a LOT harder than that of here..
not because of its content but because some questions are not straight forward..
ie. When you see yellow light, is it unlawful to not to stop when you feel unsafe not to proceed through?
