Woman fails driving exam 771 times

A woman in South Korea has failed her written driving exam 771 times.

The 68-year-old, who is known by her family name Cha, has been attempting to pass the test since April 2005, reports The Korea Times.

"I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail," said traffic police officer Park Jung-seok. "When she passes, I'll make a memorial tablet myself and give it to her."

Cha has spent around £2,000 on the failed exams and her highest mark to date is 50. Drivers must score at least 60 before they can have a practical exam.
