After finishing the exam, she smiled at the camera, sparking curiosity about the results.

Regarding her reason for attempting to get a driver's license, Karina said, "I still live with my grandmother. Recently, I was reading a book that mentioned going on a drive with my grandmother," and added, "I really wanted to take her in the passenger seat before she gets older." She continued, "I couldn't just let time pass like this. I will get my license right away and take her on a drive."

Karina passed the written test with a score of 85. She said, "I passed with a whopping 85 points," and showed a perfectionist side by asking, "Why isn't it 100 points?" After passing, Karina expressed confidence, saying, "I'm good at physical activities. I'll ace the practical test brilliantly."
