Getting your driver’s license is one of the biggest achievements of your adult life. It takes hours of practice and learning to know exactly what to expect during your exam. Unless you are one of our callers who had to get involved in a high speed chase during her test.

The world record for license attempts

If you feel bad for the amount of attempts you had in trying to get your license, don’t worry, at least you don’t have the world record.

 

That title belongs to 69 year old Cha Sa-Soon who spent over R220 000 in fees and lessons to finally get her driver’s license on the 960th attempt! We’re glad she can finally drive legally now.
