South Korean grandmother passes driving test after 960th attempt!

LONDON - The saying “you’re never too old to learn” has been proven true by a South Korean grandmother, who passed her driving test after a 960th attempt.

Cha Sa-soon, 69, whose surname means “vehicle” in Korean, has for three years since the beginning of April 2005, taken her driving test once a day, five days a week, after which her pace slowed to around twice a week.

“When she finally got her licence, we all went out cheering and hugged her, giving her flowers,” the Telegraph quoted Park Su-yeon, an instructor at Jeonbuk Driving School, as saying.

He also said that she would not be a danger on the road, as it was the written part of the test and not the practical part of it that she failed so many times.

“I wanted to get a driver’s licence so I could take my grandchildren to the zoo,” Cha explained of her determination to get a licence.

Cha is now appearing in a prime-time advertisement for Hyundai, Korea’s largest carmaker. (ANI)
