But I should note that I’m just guessing. The article doesn’t actually say that this woman, who was trying to pass a practical test for her driver’s license, failed because she ran her car off a pier. Google Translate renders the Spanish-language text as follows:
“The inspector could not stop the march and the truck fell into the sea. The woman was trapped in desperation because you could not get the seat belt,” said Requena.
A passerby jumped in and rescued the driver. The inspector swam away from the car and departed the scene without giving notice.

A South Korean grandma has failed her driving test 771 times, reports a local newspaper:
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.
