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.”
