Re: Upper age limit.
Would NEVER pass here due to the extremely strong AARP lobby we have.
In any case, upper age limit would be unfair for the many millions of people who can drive quite competently beyond that age limit. My great grandfather drove until he was 100 years old and never had an accident. Should he be confined to his house for the last quarter of his life because some other old people can't drive?

Actually, it's not so bad for her.
http://stattrek.com/Tables/Binomial.aspx
Probability of each question with 4 choices = .25 Trials = 50 Successes >= 30
Result: 1.64229e-7
Odds of failing 949 times in a row: 99.98% (that's just (1 - result)^949)
So yeah, you aren't going to randomly guess yourself into a passing score.

That's true. However, there should be another mandatory test at the age of seventy then every five years thereafter. The number of years or whatever could change depending on scientific study, that's just an estimate.

Perhaps there is hope that Spongebob will get his boating license after all.
But at least in the United States, the written test is incredibly easy. I remember I was ashamed it took me even two times to pass. I can't even imagine having to take the a test 950 times. Can she not read or something?

Oops I guessed the math wrong :D

This is so cute! I hope she doesn't kill anyone though.

the multiple choice is probably 5 possibilities, making the chance passing with blind guessing near impossible
edit: even with 4 it'd be a very very low chance

I just hope her actual driving skills are not a reflection of her written driving test aptitude.

We should have an upper-age limit for driving. I think this should be into place for every country.
i think you should be judged based on your ability to drive and not your age

There are certain things "Don't give up!" applies to, and driving certification shouldn't be it.
Failing the test any number of times shows you are clearly not capable of even making sense of basic road rules. How incompetent of the testing agency to not even realize this. I'm hoping Korea's practical test doesn't take people out on the road, or else she's going to kill somebody.
And being happy for passing on the limit? Please, for the sake of other drivers, don't drive.

Theres the practical phase now, more 4 years!

she needs a big bumper sticker that says WARNING DANGER!

And how long time selling vegetables is needed till the test feeds are paid for...

My thoughts exactly. A written test has nothing to do with having the ability to drive. For all we know she just might be semi-illiterate or something.

i dont see how you could fail that many times =/
didnt she study a bit beforehand? for the driver's exams here in australia, most of them you know without studying at all anyway
|
If you take the test 949 times, most likely you will remember every answers for every questions
