SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- A woman in South Korea who tried to pass the written exam for a driver's license with near-daily attempts since April 2005 has finally succeeded on her 950th time.

What are the Odds it could be Passed in Less tries
without Understanding Korean ?

In 1970's and 80's in Westminster California, first-time driver training immigrant Vietnamese drivers could be found driving 25 MPH in the freeway fast lanes (posted 65 MPH)...

A definite change from a bicycle culture...

My mom still likes to tell the story of when she got her first drivers license..."I walked into the court house, told them I had just turned 16, paid $.50 and they gave me my license." No pictures taken back then. If only dealing with the gov't. was still that simple.

I actually had a similar experience just 4 days ago. I had to renew my license, but opted to drive to a nearby town with a smaller DMV, but a smaller poopulation as well. I walked in and they only had two tellers working, each with one person in front of them. I took a number and sat down, and had no more time to open up a magazine then they called my number. I walked up to the counter, told them what I was there to do, paid $34 for an 8 year renenwal, took a 1-line eye test, had a new picture shot, and then she handed me my temporarly license. I was in the office for no more than 7 minutes, tops.
