What an arguement. I wrote this post because I have relatives in Saudi who are always suffering. My uncle is at work most of the time while my aunt is at home and she has to rely on taxis to go grocery shopping or to meet friends. It would make life so much eaiser for them if women were allowed to drive. Ingeniero I don't agree with your statement that women should sit at the back seat like a queen or princess and let someone else drive for them.. I personally love to drive. It gives me a sense of exhilaration when I drive a new car on my own with loud music.. splendid.. You can't imagine the pleasure when you walk into a car showroom planning to buy a new car every few years.. Going for a test drive and then selecting the car and then finally driving out of the showroom in your brand new car.. Poor Saudi women are missing out on that eventhough they have so much of money, they cannot enjoy this basic luxury..
