She climbed into the driver’s seat, put on her seatbelt, found the pedals, released the hand brake and put the car into drive. Then she took a deep breath, eased her foot off the brake...Oh my God, she said and began doing, for the first time, what women will soon be doing all over Saudi Arabia. Three and a half months remain before the date when the rulers of this kingdom have promised to lift the longstanding ban on women driving, and many here are already planning for what is sure to be a major change in Saudi society. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/world/middleeast/saudi-women-drivers.html https://mobile.reuters.com/news/picture/saudi-women-learn-to-drive-idUSRTS1MLH9?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C7448801727 Lalasticlala Mynd44

Women’s universities have announced that they plan to open driving schools, and car companies have shifted their ads, seeking to profit from the anticipated flood of new drivers and car buyers in this country of 32 million. Uber is planning to recruit women to train women who aspire to be Uber drivers, and some dealerships have already set aside shopping hours for women. Ford, Nissan, Jaguar and even Coca-Cola have sought to capitalize on the buzz around women sliding into the driver’s seat. Saudi women at Effat University in Jidda took a car safety course for the first time on Monday.

As a first lesson, the women were asked to put on goggles that impaired their vision, to understand the effects on driving from medication, drowsiness or drunkenness. Then they had to pilot a small wheel on the end of a pole across a map on the ground while paying attention to streets, stop signs and pedestrians. There was also a brief talk about road safety, car accidents and the huge number of them caused by texting at the wheel. 1 Like

Women sat in the cars while instructors explained their features, the gear shift, the gas and brake pedals, the temperature gauge, the cruise-control buttons, the turn signals and windshield wipers. At one point, a student sitting in a driver’s seat sprayed the windshield, making all of the other women laugh. Finally, the instructor told the woman to put her foot on the brake and push the ignition button. The car roared to life and a smile bloomed on her face. “All right!” she said, and the other women clapped.

A Saudi woman leaves a car during a driving training at a university in Jeddah. They said being able to drive would decrease their reliance on those who have to ferry them around, while putting them in charge of their own schedules. “I don’t want to drive just to drive,” said Rehab Alhuwaider, 21. “I want to be able to do my daily routine.” She said she hated it when she wanted to go to the gym in the morning, shopping and had to wait for someone to drop her off. The best part of driving, she said, would be “feeling more freedom.” 1 Like

Saudi woman is killed when she crashes into a concrete block while learning to drive before the country lifts its ban on female drivers(2017). A woman in Saudi Arabia has died in a car accident as she was learning how to drive, less than a week after it was announced that the country is lifting the ban on female drivers. The incident took place in Jeddah, near the Red Sea, reportedly during the woman's first driving lesson. Saudi Arabia's King Salman announced that he will be allowing women to drive from June 2018. Many women in the kingdom, which has banned female motorists for 60 years, have been illegally taking to the road in anticipation. The husband had been teaching her how to drive in their local neighbourhood when she suddenly sped forward and crashed into a concrete block. The woman died in the crash and her husband was taken to hospital. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4951096/Saudi-woman-die-car-crash-learning-drive-ban.html Lalasticlala
