A South Korean woman spent 11,000 pounds sterling, about 13.5 thousand dollars, to obtain a driver's license over several years, and after more than 900 failed attempts she finally succeeded.
Mrs. Cha Sa-sun obtained her driver's license after 959 failed attempts. Sun had tried for the first time in April 2005, in the first theoretical test, but she did not succeed, and despite failing hundreds of times, Sa-soon did not despair and continued to re-take the test until she succeeded at the end. Ultimate.
Reports indicated that she underwent the exam daily throughout the working week for three years, then reduced the step to only twice a week, until she passed the theoretical exam the 860th time.
Once she passed this test, she moved on to the practical test, which also posed a challenge for her, as she took the test dozens of times, bringing the total number of driving tests to 959 between the written and practical test.
The cost of the failed exams was £11,000, and despite these expenses, she did not give up as she wanted to get a driver's license in order to complete her vegetable selling business.
Cha Sa-soon's driving instructor said it was too much of a burden for her. "When she finally got her license, we all cheered and hugged her and gave her flowers," she added.
And she continued, “We did not have the courage to ask her to stop taking the exams; Because she was determined to do so.”
Cha Sa Soon's story made international headlines. Because of her insistence on obtaining a driver's license despite her failure several times, she became a celebrity in her country.
