Will the South Korean Granny who has failed her driving test 771 times pass it by years end?

Background: "A dogged South Korean grandmother has failed her driving test 771 times, police say, but a local newspaper reports she will keep trying.

The 68-year-old, identified only by her last name Cha, has taken the test almost every working day since 2005 in the southwestern city of Jeonju. She failed again on Monday for the 771st time."

Granny did it! Took her 950 tries to pass the written part. Now we need a question regarding the outcome of her behind-the-wheel portion of the test.
