A South Korean woman managed to get her driving license after 960 attempts and more than $14,000 spent retaking the exams.
At the age of 68, Cha Sa-Soon she explained that she put off the process of getting her license because she was “too busy raising her kids.” In 2005 he took the theory exam for the first time, but unfortunately he did not pass.
However, she did not give up. After taking what amounted to an exam “every day, five days a week for three years,” he finally made it. The next step was the practical exam, which presented many more obstacles.
Sa-Soon ended up taking an impressive total of 960 tests in an attempt to get her driver’s license. During this time, he is estimated to have spent over $14,000 on all tests, not counting driving lessons.
But why was she so persistent in getting her license? Sa-Soon explained that she needed her own vehicle to support her vegetable selling business, as well as a means to take her grandchildren to the zoo.
When he finally passed the test, everyone was very excited, including the driving school staff Jeonbuk. “We all clapped and hugged her, gave her flowers,” Sa-Soon’s instructor told the The New York Times.
Proof that good things come to those who wait, the South Korean car manufacturer Hyundai he gave her a new car worth about $15,000 after learning that Sa-Soon had passed the exam on her 960th attempt.
