A South Korean woman is celebrating after passing the written exam for a driving licence - on her 950th attempt. After four years of trying, 68-year-old Cha Sa-soon finally managed to secure the 60 out of 100 points needed to pass the test. The grandmother has spent more than 5m won ($4,200, £2,600) on application fees for the test. Now Mrs Cha, who lives in Jeonju, 130 miles (210km) south of Seoul, must pass the practical test to get on the road.


I wonder how many attempts will that take ? biggrin

Seriously? She is old so I don't want to come down too hard on her, but would YOU want her driving next to you?

I'd drive along her. Provided I'm allowed to drive a Leopard 2.

What I'm trying to figure out is how all of them got together and decided to move to Atlanta and buy cars.

They didn't, it just seems that way to you.
We have tons of them here too.

Nope, Jeeves is right. The last nine years of Atlanta driving puts me firmly in the witness box for his side.

Now, then, I've heard about Korean driving habits, and if half of them are true am very suprised they have an actual licensing process.

Alternately, I've always wondered what the Puerto Rico driving test is like.

Which side of the road should one drive on?
A) Right.
B) Left.
C) Whichever is fastest.

A flat area next to a road or street without an obstruction large enough to prevent your vehicle from fitting on it is:
A) The median.
B) A lawn.
C) A parking spot.

Signs denoting exit or street names are usually located:
A) 300 yards before they join the road which they intersect.
B) Where they intersect.
C) You stupid tourist, we don't need road signs.

It goes without saying that my favorite place on the planet to drive is PR! They may drive crazy, but it's crazy smart. Very few accidents, but it feels like there's going to be a pile-up at any second, and it's going to make NASCAR look like the amateur hour.

Because of some of the posts above (people on the road that will really piss you off) and my temper, I have no intention to drive until I manage to retain a constant control of my anger.

hmmm... or maybe that iphone for road rage may just do the trick

Dart are you sure that's Puerto Rico? Because it sounds a lot like Portugal.

Here's a good example of Portuguese parking:
