A dogged South Korean grandmother has failed her driving test 771 times, police say, but a local newspaper reports she will keep trying.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 on 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.
Local media said that Cha sells food and household items door to door at apartment complexes, carrying the items in a handcart, but wants to get a car for her business.
Police estimate she has spent almost five million won ($A5,600) to take the written tests in addition to other expenses.
"I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail. When she passes, I'll make a commemorative tablet myself and give it to her," one officer was quoted as saying.

OMG ! can someone be so f*cking retarded???? no, really?
yeah, really...
Is she actually studying or just guessing each question? Either way I don't want to be on the road with this lady.
THAT STORY IS BULL SH*T...That means the sotry says she took a test every week...which in 4 years would only add up to 208 tests since 2005...so whos telling lies? AOL or the person who took the tests? she would have had taken a test every 1.8 days without a skipping to add up.
"Cha, has taken the test almost every working day since 2005."
I work 5 out of 7 days a week...5*52(weeks in a year)=260 days in 1 year...
It actually says "every working day" you tard.which would be about 250 tests per year.
It said every working day, not week. Maybe you should work on your critical reading skills before you start screaming embarrassing things...
It would appear we have a f*cking retard math major whose pea brained thinking allows for 208 available dates to take the drivers test since 2005. Using this infantile analysis the writer determines AOL is "lying". A cursory review will reveal the article indicates she attempted the test every working "DAY", you dork, not "WEEK". Now, try your best and see if you can "do the Math" and get the gold star you deserve.
anyway you need to be really, really dull if you fall 771 time...
yeah, i agree with you...
Where I'm from the written driver's tests are standardized... and I mean that there are only about 10 possible tests you can receive. It is a government agency that administers these tests, and government spending in Korea is probably similar, so they'd probably do it the same way. In my estimation, you'd have to fail the SAME test at least 70 times? Sounds made up...
asians no wonder y they suck at driving they only have to get a 60% toget a driving licence
You would think that she would memorize the questions by the 771th time and be able to get a perfect score. stupid asians
If you read the story, it says South Korean grandmother. Not American Grandmother. How are you so sure they have the exact same driving laws as in America?
Im suprised that wasnt first accomplished in florida
fuck you dude not all asians can't drive watch what comes out of your mouth douche
dude its obviously because shes asian. she probably failed the driving test because she stayed in the passing lane with her blinker on the whole time
i know this was in korea. but i think its hilarious 9 outta 10 times you see and awful driver in the US its an asian, yet they are such a small part of the US population hahahahah
I disagree.
Old people are the worst drivers. Asians see everything in wide screen, but to old people the world is a blur.
When I see someone doing 35 in the express lane, I am almost always correct in assuming that its an old lady or a old man. Asians are horrible drivers, but I think old people take the cake. They cause most of the accidents IMO.
i saw the scariest thing ever...all three bad driving stereotypes in one...i saw a rly old asian women doing like 3mph down my street.
There have been studies that have proven Asians are worse drivers than the rest of us because of the shape of their eyes, they don't have peripheral vision. So everyone that sticks up for asians should shut up its a fact now, they suck at driving.
Asians can't drive! Everytime I'm behind some dildo going ridiculously slow or doing something even more retarded, I look to see who/what is driving it. 99% of the time it's an asian..I even say to myself "Oh I bet it's an asian." Sure enough it is! Obviously this woman is better off not driving!
so if that was a record breaking number i wonder if the person who failed it 770 times got it or gave up
WHY THE F**K WOULD SOMEONE GIVE A "COMMEMORATIVE TABLET" TO A CU*T OF A PERSON. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE CELEBRATED BUT INSTEAD SHOT.
Maybe she's dyslexic and can't read or something. That would explain why she's failing the written test anyway...
god damn gooks should all be shot. them zipperheads aint know nothin about anythin.
so does that mean someone also failed over 700 times? at that point you should just get a moped....that's scary that someone can be that bad at driving ....and yes old asian women are easily the scariest and worst drivers on the planet
Inbreads.....the lot of you!
you spelled "inbreds" wrong.
772nd time's the charm?
Asian driver + woman driver + old driver = ... stereotype
i think at least after the 100th time they fail they should never be allowed to drive.
BTW, where i live, if you fail the test you have to wait 2 weeks before you can take it again. and you need 100% on the signs test and 80% on the general knowledge test.
she coulda spent less if she just hired a driver for her for these 5 yrs...what a dumb fuckin bitch
seriously...after doin the same test 700+ times you'd figure shed have the CORRECT answers memorized by now just
herro o you wanna take drive test. oh ra oh ra me finary prass afta 771 times. a ro me crash i gress i fail
lets see, i'm partially dyslexic, I have A.D.D. and Non-Verbal Learning Disorder... however I passed my written text AND my driving text the first time, when I was 16... hmmm....
Ahh damn asains break down Mongolian wall.
Instead of trying to drive, why dont you go watch some jackie chan movies and eat some rice
this makes me feel better about having failed my driving test 3 times now
SPONGEBOB IS BETTER AT DRIVING THAN YOU
its like.. she knows all the answers... but purposely gets them wrong... i mean... its almost impossible otherwise.. right?
She may not know how to read...
She may not know how to read. That's the most brilliant assessment of all. Someone who can't read tries 771 times to take a written test in which you have to read. Are you sure you're not actually the fucking idiot bitch who failed this test 771 times?
Well at least she not one to give up! lol
wow its sad to see the bunch of racist comments on here!! It's old people in general that can't drive. Not asians. I live in fl. which makes 75 percent population old people and they're the ones that suck!! Racist son of a b*tches!!!
all these comments make me hate the internet. like 7 out of 10 comments are absolutely stupid. if asains are the worst drivers how do they have the best racers? huh??!??!?!! the best race car drivers are japs and they're amazing. old people and women are the worst in that order. duh.
The worst part is how westerners generalise Asians as Chinese/Japanese/Korean. As if India,Indonesia and all those other countries never existed.
Maybe it's cause she kept her brinker on all da ra home.
hahaha of course shes asian...they're really smart but can't drive for shit.
Wow racism, ageism and sexism in this thread....what a surprised.
I don't know about asians, but women drivers are known to have far few accidents than male drivers and the majority of accidents are not caused by older drivers either.
It said she failed on the theory test so her driving was not the issue but her knowledge. I think she needs to study harder!
normal person + anonymity + audience = total fucktard.
every one of you...
all you morons are stupid, fucking anti-asian assholes...
how 'bout this:
mexcians can drive because they have crappy cars and can't afford insurance. same with black people, except black people are probably also high on something.
indians drive just like mexicans, only i don't know what their excuse is.
old asians drive too slow. young asians drive too fast.
white girls are too busy talking to brittany and ashley on their phones to be able to drive properly in the jetta daddy got them.
stupid white guys drive unecessarily large trucks, blinding us with their headlights that should be illegal and think they own the fucking road...must be compensating for their shortcomings.
skinny little white soccer moms can't drive their yukons, tahoes, and muranos for shit...not enough practice because they spend most of their time at home in the pool doing their nails and tanning.
all old people can't drive, no matter what ethnicity.
my point? 99.9% OF ALL PEOPLE ON THE ROAD CAN'T DRIVE!!! so LEAVE THE ASIANS ALONE!!!
whoops, i meant mexicans CAN'T drive.
p.s. WTF is up with the idiot defending the asian drivers but then calls them 'japs'?!
what the heck is wrong with all of you guys??? you are sooo racist!!! America has a share of some of the worst drivers too!!! you cannot base stereotypes by onw person having to take the test numerous times!!! u dont even know!!!
