950th time the charm

by Justin Collins

After nearly five years, 949 re-tests, and over $4,200 in application fees paid, a woman who has 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.
Cha Sa-soon, 68, had failed to score the minimum 60 out of a possible 100 points on the written test needed to get behind the wheel for a driving test.  She 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 south of Seoul, Korea.

Police said Cha took the test hundreds of times, and local media said she took the test 950 times. Now, she must pass a driving test before getting her license. She told the Korea Times newspaper she needed the license for her vegetable-selling business. No matter long how long it takes, God can help you succeed. With God, all things are possible! Her persistence is a inspiration.
