It appears that all her hard work paid off, as Miss Sa-soon has finally earned her license!
It took Cha Sa-soon over 960 tries, but she is now an official member of South Korea�s driving club. According to the Huffington Post, Miss Sa-soon passed the written portion of the exam on November 4, 2009 with a minimum passing score of 60 out of 100. After that came the driving test.
Surprisingly, it took Miss Sa-soon only 10 tries before she mastered the drive, which is quite a masterful feat, at least in comparison to her written performance. The irony is that more often than not, the driving test�especially the parallel parking�proves to be the most difficult for potential drivers seeking their license. Apparently, this rule of thumb worked backwards for Miss Sa-soon.
So what are her plans now? Yonhap reports say that Miss Sa-soon intends to buy a used car in the hope of visiting her children and improving her vegetable-selling business.
We wish Miss Sa-soon much luck, but beg her to remember to always drive defensively because driving is a privilege, not a luxury![/align]
