I Hope She Doesn't Buy A Toyota


South Korean driver earns license on 960th try
Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean woman who earned a driver's license after 960 tries is ready to buy a car and get behind the wheel.

Yonhap news agency reported Thursday that 69-year-old Cha Sa-soon passed the driving part of the test last month on her 10th try. South Korea requires a written test first, and Cha took it nearly daily since April 2005 before passing last year.

Yonhap quoted her as saying she wanted to buy a small secondhand car to visit her son and daughter and for her business selling vegetables.

See I knew it was just a scurrilous stereotype that asians can't drive. They just may need a little bit more practice than everyone else. And there's nothing wrong with persistence. It's like they same - Rome wasn't built in a day. But I bet it could be destroyed in a day if a bunch of asian ladies drove in there.
