Default South Korean granny fails driving test 771 times

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090205...20090205024852

A dogged South Korean grandmother has failed her driving test 771 times, police said Thursday, but a local newspaper reported she will keep trying.

The 68-year-old, identified only by her last name Cha, has taken the test almost every working day since 2005 in the southwestern city of Jeonju. She failed again Monday for the 771st time.

On an episode of Top Gear, (A show about cars on BBC), presenter Jeremy Clarkson failed a Vietnamese motor-scooter driving test. And he test drives supercars. Go figure.

Perhaps she should take a few days off from taking the test, and spend the time studying for it instead (since apparently she fails the written part of the test).
