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.

Wow, talking about putting the effort on achieving that one goal. o.e

[shenmecar]

it will only cause trouble to other road users if she passes

[jpoon]

that is sad. she should have given up a long time ago.

[El Bastardo]

Why doesn't she just move to Vancouver and pay $2500 like everyone else?

[alex.w *//]

damn all that money can be spent elsewhere

[Razor Ramon HG]

I could see why she's getting a car. She's getting pretty damn old.

I feel bad for her.

[InvisibleSoul]

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?

[triadik]

Damn that sucks!

[unidentified]

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...

[xyz123]

68 and keeps on fighting lmao. Hope she achieves what she wants to achieve.

[Djiban]

the dumbass should've used the money to hire a driver instead

[joolee]

[Gary Oak]

does anyone know what the written part of the test is like in korea? if it's anything like here then there is no excuse but otherwise...

[q0192837465]

wow, talk about determination. We all need more of that.

[nipples]

written is the same.
but they have 2 road tests..one for city, one for hwy.

maybe she's senile? that's why she cant remember the answers? god i dont even know haha

all i know is if she passes, i'm buying life insurance

[chinook79]

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?

[JHuJHu]

what a coincidence. i took my wrriten test today. and failed....

[n'drew]

damn, after the 20th time. i wouldve stopped.

[orange7]

I think she wants to pass this test not because she wants to drive but because she wants to prove to herself that she can achieve anything if she sets her mind to it.

She would make a great role model.. well sorta...

[tonyvu]

katt williams.... "trying shit and trying shit.... don't work"
AHHA:rofl:

[t8v6]

maybe she should go back to elementary school first before she tries taking the test again, i'm sure a four year old would pass after the 700th time...

[tamiya_s2000]

LOLLLLLLLL

[Eclypz]

I remember once at the lougheed icbc...
I was standing there getting my DL renewed and i saw this chick fail her written ( computer ) exam.
It was fucking hilarious, cuz she failed, and someone (her mom?) came over and was like "not again!!!, this is the 8th time". I couldn't help but laugh
