Woman passes driving test after 960 tries

A South Korean woman who finally passed her driving test after 960 tries is ready to buy a car and get behind the wheel.

The Yonhap news agency reported that 69-year-old Cha Sa-soon passed the driving part of the test last month.

South Korea requires a written test first, and Cha took it nearly daily since April 2005 before passing last year.

Yonhap quoted her as saying she wanted to buy a small secondhand car to visit her son and daughter and for her business selling vegetables.
