South Koreans are known for determination - Including Granny that fails car tests 771 times!

We know Koreans are known for their hardworking, strong and determine nature, and a 68 year old granny, 'Cha' brings this further.

She sells food and household items door to door and had repeatedly tried getting a car so that it would be easier for her business.

However, she had scored a typical 30-50% in written tests which requires a 60% score to pass over - 771 times!

A typical test would cost somewhere around $6000 won, which is around $4.69 US Dollar, and Cha had spent collectively $3600 US Dollars trying to get her license.

One officer from the local police had commented that he felt sorry for her everytime she failed her tests, and had mentioned he would get her a commemorative cert once she passed her 772nd test.

How about a large 'BE WARNED" sticker on her car once she passed - Just to be safe.
