Grandmother fails test again

A sixty-eight-year-old grandmother from the South Korean city of Jeonju has just failed her written driving test for the 771st time. The woman’s name, which was given only as Cha, first took the written part of the exam in April 2005. At the time, she thought it would help if she had a car for her job.

In the beginning, Cha went to the licence office almost every day. Now, she no longer works but still goes to the office once a week. The office said she’s spent more than £1,600 on exam fees.

‘You have to get at least sixty points to pass the written part,’ said Kim Rahn, who wrote about Cha in the Korea Times, an English-language daily newspaper. ‘She usually gets under fifty.’

Bloggers have already responded to the news about Mrs Cha’s misfortunes with comments that range from sympathy to anger. One wrote, ‘There’s a time in every person’s life when, if they fail something over 700 times, they should stop.’

Other bloggers complained about a system that allows people to take a driving test so many times. One man commented: ‘It’s not a very good system if you can take the test as often as you want. I mean, she might be a danger to other people even if she passes the test after the 1,001st try.’

Mrs Cha seems to be ignoring the bloggers. She said that she’d be back for another attempt. If she passes, then she can begin to prepare for the practical test.
