How Korean woman passed driving test after 960th attempt
A South Korean woman identified as Cha Sa-soon, has become a symbol of persistence after making headlines for passing her driving test on her 960th attempt.
The 69-year-old first attempted the written portion of the exam in April 2005 but failed, leading her to retake it every day, five days a week, for three years, resulting in a total of 780 attempts.
After changing her approach to twice a week, she finally passed the written test and moved on to the practical portion.
Sa-soon’s determination to obtain a driving license was fueled by her need to operate her vegetable-selling business.
Despite spending approximately £11,000 on test fees, she never gave up on her objective, and her persistence paid off.
Her story of dedication and tenacity soon made headlines worldwide, and she became a national celebrity. Hyundai even featured her in one of their advertisements, and she received a brand-new car as a gift.
Cha Sa-soon’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination. It serves as an inspiration to many who may be facing difficulties in achieving their goals.
Her story is a reminder that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.
