For the $4200 she spent on just the written test alone, I'm pretty sure she could of hired some kid to do it for her. At some point w/ old age, when are we going to stop being so PC and just say no for the safety of others?

We probably should be but since it's in South Korea
I believe we (In the USA) may be ok for now.
On the other hand the authorities are paying
close attention to senior drivers locally.

I agree with one of the last things they say...it is about ability, not age. My grandfather is a "young" 90 years old and can still drive pretty well, my grandmother is 80 and can't. There probably should be more testing done after a certain age though to weed out those that probably shouldn't be driving anymore.

Back to the original article...keep in mind she still has to pass the physical test. That 950 tries was for the written portion only. Scary as hell actually.
