Why did your case arouse curiosity? Basically because Cha is perhaps the only woman in history who He passed his driving test after… 960 attempts!
Sa-soon was 69 when he decided to retire the record. It was April of the year 2005.
It all started, of course, with the first attempt. What seemed like child’s play turned out to be a real nightmare.
After failing the first exam, Cha tried to pass it once a (work) day for three years. That means, every week deprecated it virtually Monday through Friday until 2008. I look for 780 timesreported The Mirror.
He then started taking the exam twice a week until he was finally able to pass the first instance. Then when he went to the practice test, it only took him about 10 times to pass and finally get your license.
In total there were 960 attempts those that served the woman to get the long-awaited record.
The unusual case became famous in South Korea. Everyone knew the woman.
After self-improvement, there were brands that did not want to miss the opportunity to have it. So much so that Cha appeared in a Hyundai commercial (the one you see below) and the company even gave him a new vehicle worth almost 13,000 euros.

Word from your instructor

“When she finally got her driver’s license, we all came out to cheer her on and give her flowers and hugs. I felt like a great weight was falling off us. We hadn’t had the heart to tell him to stop because he kept showing upthe man said.
