950th Time Is The Charm For Learner Driver

A woman in South Korea has finally passed her driving test after hundreds
of attempts - 950 to be exact.
Cha Sa-soon has taken the written exam on a near-daily basis since April
2005.
The test requires 60% to pass but Mrs Cha has repeatedly scored between 30%
and 50%.
The 68-year-old grandmother forks out 6,000 won (�2.80) in application fees
every time she takes the test.
After 950 tries, that amounts to more than five million won (�2,660).
Mrs Cha has been determined to obtain her licence so that she can get a car
to make her door-to-door business a little easier.
At the moment she delivers food and household items to her customers in a
handcart.
But now she has finally passed the written exam with a score of 60,
according to police official Choi Young-chul.
However, Mrs Cha will not be buying a new motor just yet - she still needs
to pass the driving part of the exam before she gets her licence.
The grandmother has become a familiar figure at the drivers' license agency
in Jeonju, 130 miles south of Seoul.
In February this year, after Mrs Cha had failed her 771st attempt, traffic
police officer Jung-seok said: "I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail.
"When she passes, I'll make a commemorative tablet myself and give it to
her."

If they'd offered her a dogburger, she'd have passed first time.

IS that what they offered you when you took the test or do you drive
without a license?
