Many Saudi Arabian women are fighting right now to win the government voice to let them drive. Few Saudi women already took action and drove around city, but most of them got caught by police and sent back home with a warrant. In Saudi Arabia there is not law saying that women can not drive, But the culture of the country took over the law. In the basic law of Saudi Arabia, It is legal to women to drive, But they can't get a driving license because of the culture.
There are many opinions, why the women in Saudi Arabia shouldn't drive. many people say that Saudi women do not need to drive. because in Saudi Arabia more than 75% of the people have personal drivers, so women can be driven to work, shop or to visit relatives. In the Saudi Arabian Culture, Men are very jealous and protective for their women. Many people think when women drive, It might lead young guys to follow, flirt and cause trouble. I believe women in Saudi Arabia should drive, But after lot of work. first of all, I think women should drive in the city only, so they prevent troubles on rural areas. Such As, Car problems, bandits. Then, there should be female police officers on the main spots of each big city so they can easily and quickly get to the troubled female driver. I believe that women driving might be troublesome for some people at first because of the culture, but when they get used to it, It will be alright. Most Saudi Arabians went to nearby countries where is it allowed to women to drive, they are getting more & more open with women driving. I believe that women should start driving now with new the rules.
