In most countries being able to drive is a fundamental right, afforded to anyone that is of legal age. However, this is not the case in Saudi Arabia. In this ultraconservative Islamic nation, women are not allowed to do many things that females worldwide take for granted, including getting behind the wheel. Though there is no official law in place, local authorities consistently turn down license requests from women, effectively resulting in a defacto ban. Those who defy the unwritten rule often end up losing their jobs and even risk getting arrested and jailed.

    I think that it is so great women finally get to drive! Men and Women should be EQUAL, do people even know what that word means? Sometimes it is soooo annoying when people think that they are superior to the opposite gender!!! Girls are NOT better than boys and boys are NOT better than girls! we are EQUAL! We may be different, but we are EQUAL! People, go study the word EQUAL, look it up in a dictionary or something and understand it!

          hey I'm a guy. I grew up with 5 sisters and a single mom so I think that women can do anything when they put their mind to it.
