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.

This woman obviously should not be allowed on the roads. Are you kidding me?

My guess either she has poor eyesight and won't admit it, or she's getting her information from a drivers handbook from the 1960s.

If she can't pass a written test (presumably with the same questions on it every time) after over 700 tries there is OBVIOULSY something wrong enough that she should not be allowed to drive. Jeez.

As frightening as she would be on the road, you have to hand it to her perserverence. Okay, maybe just stubborn.

Oh my. I do believe we have found a living Spongebob Squarepants. That poor soul cannot pass his boat driving test for the life of him either. ;)

Perhaps it's not eyesight but senility. She might just be forgetting that she took the test so many times, along with the wrong answers. Stories like these make me glad I left Korea.
