SEOUL, South Korea – A woman in South Korea who tried to pass the written exam for a driver's license with near-daily attempts since April 2005 has finally succeeded on her 950th time. The aspiring driver spent more than 5 million won ($4,200) in application fees, but until now had failed to score the minimum 60 out of a possible 100 points needed to get behind the wheel for a driving test.
Cha Sa-soon, 68, finally passed the written exam with a score of 60 on Wednesday, said Choi Young-chul, a police official at the drivers' license agency in Jeonju, 130 miles (210 kilometers) south of Seoul.
Police said Cha took the test hundreds of times, but had no specific total. Local media said she took the test 950 times.
Now she must pass a driving test before getting her license, Choi said.
Repeated calls to Cha seeking comment went unanswered. She told the Korea Times newspaper she needed the license for her vegetable-selling business.

That sure shows determination to go through all that to be able to get her business license. I can sure admire that. I couldn't get on the site of the link, but i'm guessing she probably didn't even need the license for driving, but she did what she had to do for her business.
(gotta say, though, i'm glad I'm not driving in her neighborhood. lol)
Thanks for sharing!

That just goes to show that people can overcome obstacles if they are willing to put their mind to it. That lady failed over 900 times, but her determination made it become a reality.
