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? | ||

TBH I would've thought she'd pass soon simply guessing... kinda unlucky imo. 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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
