South Korean Woman Fails Driving Test 771 Times

that woman needs to give it up and take bus/train.
 
Wow and here I thought I was bad missing in three times in a row :giggle:

771 times!!! That's a whole lot of times...
 
It's da engrish. When aju-ma is retaking that test (calling Koreans by their surname is considered offensive in their culture), she's probably seeing garbled stuff. For example:

What we see:
1. A pre-trip inspection should be completed:
a. at least once a week.
b. if any problems occurred the last the time the vehicle was operated.
c. before operating the vehicle.

What she sees:
1. Trip should:
a. 1 time week
b. ???
c. ???

What we see:
Which of the following is the correct term for a long commercial vehicle's tendency to swing wide on turns?
a. Sidetracking.
b. Offtracking.
c. Fishtailing.

What she sees:
??? turning
a. ???
b. ???
c. Fish Tail

What we see:
Water can safely be used on which of these fires?
a. Chemical.
b. Gasoline.
c. Neither of the above.

What she sees:
Water & fire
a. add chemical
b. add gas
c. ???



Common misconceptions that Asian drivers suck are true, however that stereotype applies to the older generation.

kinda weird cuz in here - the retake waiting period is at least 2-3 weeks. I guess they don't have the waiting period.
 
oh wait, wth! I read the whole thing incorrectly.
I thought she was taking the test for the USA, not Korea. Now that I read it again, she's taking the test IN KOREA for a KOREA license!!

Now that's a whole different ballgame.

DC public transit system is much better than NYC. I am not sure about Boston public transit system but still boston transit system is much better than NYC. haha

DC public transit system has been one of the world's best transit systems for a long time. They learned many lessons from NYC, London and other major cities that have public transit system about managing the system before they built it.

Boston subway is quite "deaf-friendly" because it has display to show the announcements and subway stops. Few subway lines in NYC are deaf-friendly (the subway trains are very modern, clean, and high-tech) but most are not. :mad2: The subway I take feels like the one from 10 years ago. ghetto! :mad2:
 
Since we're on the topic of public transportation now, where do you think is the place with the WORST transportation system?





























My choice is Vietnam. A friend once told me how it's like, I also googled it up.
Hitchhiking Vietnam: Transportation

Read that fully. It is worth it, even for the sarcastic jokes.

I know!! I just wanted to point out randomly that in Vietnam, you mess up driving, you die lol.

My friend said that people don't care about people jaywalking the road, and if you get hit, that's too bad. That website had some nice info about how's it like too.

- Sun. Your blisters will have blisters.
- Traffic. It's like one of those space invader video games only when you lose, you die.
- The roads (particularly in rural areas) are about as smooth as a newly plowed field.
- To a Vietnamese truck driver, there is no such thing as the wrong side of the road.
- There are no ambulances in Vietnam.
- Nineteen miles in eight hours is good progress...
- In the city the exhaust fumes can be dense enough to cut with a karate-chop.
- If you have no choice but to run over an animal (chicken, dog, even a pig) hit it straight on and try to get over it. Better them than you. There are no ambulances in Vietnam.
- People often leave unhusked sheaves of rice lying across the road so that trucks and buses will separate the rice from the husks. Drive right over them. They also leave sheets of corrugated metal to be flattened by successive vehicles. You want to be a little more careful of those.


Aside from Vietnam, I would say Taiwan, Korea, Japan -- these three places have an excellent transit system, you can get from point A to B without a need for a personal vehicle easily, reliably, and on time.
 
Ack! That's a lot of written test to take. :eek:

This woman sounds like she's a spitfire and isn't going to quit any time soon until she is able to pass the written test. I have to wonder, Did she even try to backtrack herself on the test to find out what she did was wrong on the test in order to review it and to improve it for herself? She probably did, but still, 771 times is just mind-boggling!
 
:lol:

This reminds me of SpongeBob Square Pants and Mrs. Puff's Driving test.

SpongeBob can't seem to pass it either. :rofl:
