| More Saudi Women Defy Driving Ban |
| 2013-10-11 |
| [Ynet] Saudi women are opposing driving ban, taking wheel. 'More women are driving than ever; it's no longer as rejected,' activist says Saudi women are increasingly getting behind the wheel in defiance of a driving ban ahead of a nationwide campaign planned by female activists for later this month, witnesses said. A video posted on social networks this week shows a fully veiled woman driving in Riyadh as male motorists and families gave her the "thumbs up" in support.

"I saw a woman in (the eastern city of) Khobar driving. This is becoming more acceptable and is no longer rejected as it once was," she told AFP. |

| #2 I dunno - keeping the women from driving seemed like the only thing they were doing right (dons body armor and helmet.) |
