If you've managed to get your hands on your driving license, you know how daunting it can be.

And if you feel deflated after failing your driving test or you haven't attempted it because you're too scared to fail - let this woman will give you some inspiration.

It took Cha Sa-soon from South Korea almost 1,000 attempts to pass her driving test.

In South Korea, those looking to get behind the wheel must pass a written test, similar to our Driver Theory Test.

Cha Sa-soon first attempted the written test back in April 2005 and after failing for the first time, she continued to retake the test every single day, five days a week, for three years (that's 780 times).

After those three years, Cha Sa-soon took her foot off the pedal a little and lowered her attempt numbers and took the test only twice a week until finally she passed.

She passed her written exam on her 950th attempt but then came the practical exam!

Cha Sa-soon failed her practical exam a number of times also but eventually got her license on attempt number 10.

So in total, she went through 960 exams before she finally got her license at age 69.

You would think she would have given up, but Tyla report Cha Sa-soon needed the license for her vegetable-selling business.

Not only did she spend a lot of time trying to pass the exam but she spent a small fortune too!

It's reported Cha Sa-soon forked out almost €12,500 to secure her license.

Her driving instructor at Jeonbuk Driving School revealed they were so relieved when she passed as, "It felt like a huge burden falling off our backs. We hadn't had the guts to tell her to quit because she kept showing up". 

Cha Sa-soon ended up becoming a national celebrity appearing in a Hyundai advert and was gifted a brand new car worth almost €13,000 from a South Korean Hyundai car manufacturer.
