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.

Some man was driving the driving tester on his road test in Hertford. He got onto a roundabout / rotary and failed to keep on the road and veered off and smashed the car through a store window. Afterwards he said to the inspector"Does this mean I did not pass"?. btw the test in my opinion the driving test in the UK is much more difficult than the USA. On the eye test I even got away with saying ZED instead of ZEE Edited by PeterB, 8 Nov 2009, 11:05 PM.
