Saudi Arabias Shura council (appointed parliament) will shortly hold a special session to debate a law allowing women to drive cars, a newspaper said on Tuesday.
The Arabic language daily Al Riyadh said Shura members would debate a proposal by two female members abolishing a long-standing ban on driving by women.
This is a wonderful proposal. We hope it will see light soon, the paper said, quoting Shura member Lubna Al Ansari.
Al Riyadh said a poll it had conducted among local journalists showed 92 per cent of them supported the proposal.
They’ll be sorry.
Be ready for more road accidents, just kidding (I will now hide for my pummeling from our women freeper community)!~
Don’t do it!!!
They will still be required to have a male family member escort.
What a bass-ackward country.
Can’t wait to see women driving who are wearing a sack that includes a head covering with NO EYE HOLES.
what could go wrong?
