She got licence to drive on 950th attempt

A South Korean woman is celebrating after passing the written exam for a driving licence - on her 950th attempt.

After four years of trying, 68-year-old Cha Sa-soon finally managed to secure the 60 out of 100 points needed to pass the test.

The grandmother has spent more than 5m won ($4,200, £2,600) on application fees for the test.

Now Cha, who lives in Jeonju, 130 miles (210km) south of Seoul, must pass the practical test to get on the road.

Cha had been trying to pass it since 13 April 2005, the Korea Times reported.
