There’s failure and then there’s epic failure to the point of exhaustion. This South Korean grandmother who’s failed her driving test 771 times would certainly fall into the latter category.

A dogged South Korean grandmother has failed her driving test 771 times, police said Thursday, but a local newspaper reported she will keep trying.

The 68-year-old, identified only by her last name Cha, has taken the test almost every working day since 2005 in the southwestern city of Jeonju. She failed again Monday for the 771st time.

“It was a record-breaking number here,” Choi Yong-Cheol, a police sergeant supervising the test in the city’s Deokjingu district, told AFP.
“I wonder if she will try it again for a 772nd time.”
The Korea Times said Cha will in fact be back for another attempt.
Choi said that Cha cannot pass the preliminary written section of the test, averaging scores of 30-50 whereas the pass mark is 60 out of 100.

Local media said that Cha sells food and household items door to door at apartment complexes, carrying the items in a handcart, but wants to get a car for her business.

Police estimate she has spent almost five million won (3,600 dollars) to take the written test, with each test costing 6,000 won in addition to other expenses.

Whoa an Asian woman can’t drive? Holy shit stop the presses I’ve never heard of such a crazy news story. What next, a black guy becoming a star in the NBA or a white guy with a wispy moustache f’ing an underaged boy? Will wonders never cease?!?!

Also did you know that people once believed that Asian women had a horizontal vagina? This really has nothing to do with the article but I’d really like to just throw that out there. No punchline just…yeah…horizontal vagina. Think about it.
