No Women Drivers

[phoenix]

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world which bars women from driving. Although no law forbids it, women are denied driving licences, effectively rendering it illegal. Instead, they must rely on hired drivers, taxis, or male relatives to drive them.

Those Arabians are nae daft.

 

Women should be seen and not heard, in my opinion, and they've got that enshrined in their laws.

 

They canna drive anyway.
