950 tries later...

SEOUL, South Korea— A woman in South Korea who tried to pass the written exam for a driver's license with near-daily attempts since April 2005 has finally succeeded on her 950th time. The aspiring driver spent more than 5 million won ($4,200) in application fees, but until now had failed to score the minimum 60 out of a possible 100 points needed to get behind the wheel for a driving test.

All I can say is wow. Not sure how much I'd want her on the roads here...

This certainly doesn't help dispel certain stereotypes...
