Saudi women will soon be allowed to drive!!!!
The royal decree by King Salman ordered the formation of a ministerial body to give advice within 30 days, then implement the order by June 2018, according to state news agency.
Saudi Arabia has announced that it will let women drive. The move comes after decades of campaigning from human rights groups.
The kingdom, which has a history of oppressive laws against women, made the decision public through a state television address Tuesday.

Congrats to our Saudi sisters!
I agree its good news. Not just for the women, but also because the more islamic societies become like western societies the better off we will all be.
I'm on the fence on this one... Women are typically terrible drivers, so this may cause more problems than it solves.

It's a step in the right direction.
It's a step in the right direction for many more collisions and fatalities...
Men cause more fatalities than women while driving.
How can these new "female" drivers be controlled? What if they drive into places they don't belong?
Oh the humanity!!!!
Seriously!
My husband has been to Saudi Arabia..
My guess is that women driving will come with permission from men like everything else in that society.

I didn't know you had a b1tch.
I always have women around.
It's only because I like women...
Most women like my sense of humour, which is actually bad...
I am right leaning, which is bad...
I am just bad.

The KSA will never be like Western societies. And in some ways that is a good thing.

Tell him you can be his sober driver when he heads home from a pub crawl in Riyadh.
Apparently Saudi women are allowed to drive
but only if they have permission from a male guardian

I prolly shouldn't have displayed that. Gerty says "it never happened"
This video is from Channel 4 News https://www.channel4.com/news/
Women across Saudi Arabia have been celebrating being able to drive for the first time after the world's only ban was overturned - describing it as a historic moment, finally abolishing a glaring symbol of repression.
But despite the euphoria, some female activists who campaigned against the driving ban are still in jail.

I had to laff when RW, desperate to find and display something positive in islam, made this thread.

Equal protection under the law is not there yet in Saudi Arabia.

Well its a positive, but on a scale of 1 to 10 we're finding out its about a 1.0001 positive. :laugh:
There are some good Muslims, but IMO there is nothing good about Islam.
