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.

No doubt. Spent a year over there and had to drive a good distance to get to one of our radar sites. People over there are downright awful drivers. IF she passes the driving portion of the test (without wrecking), she'll probably wreck her car in the first week. She's obviously not very bright if it took that long to pass the test and she only passed with a 60.

She has to be retarded....nobody does anything 950 times without figuring out how to pass.

The law of guessing would have helped her pass quicker than that

As long as she keeps it at 30 in a 45 then she'll be fine.
