Driving miss crazy

IF EVER those struggling to pass their driving test needed an inspirational tale to teach them that perseverance is the key to success, then this story could be it.

For, a South Korean woman has earned her driver’s license on the 960th time of asking - and is now ready to buy her first car.

Yonhap news agency reported that 69-year-old Cha Sa-soon passed the driving part of the test last month on her 10th try. South Korea requires a written test first, and Cha took it nearly daily since April 2005 before passing last year.

Yonhap quoted her as saying she wanted to buy a small secondhand car to visit her son and daughter and for her business selling vegetables.
