I have heard (and seen) that women can not drive (its illegal) in saudi arabia, i was surprised !! WHY ?? and do u think its ok ?
And do u think driver lisences should be given to younger kids e.g. 16 year olds (as in the USA)
In my opinion i think that women shold be treated equally, she should have the right to drive her car, vote and be part of politics, work in many sectors etc.
And driver lisences should be given to older people only (18+) cause 16 years olds (me and the rest of the IG students) are not ready to cruise the streets !!
what do u think ??
-
No doubt women should be treated equally, im all for that.
buh the whole driving at 16, i mean yea i wanna drive now, buh mature wise, dont think so
Imma expat here in Dubai & they said that they gonna change the age to 21! & im totally against that ish*
-
i don't think there is one person who is gonna disagree with the fact women should have the right to drive as much as a man.
I hope someone who disagrees will come along soon, we might be able to find out someone else's point of view that way ;)

You cant make half the population less than equal. The world is changing.

I hate sexism...its one thing that REALLY pisses me off and is very common in my country usually with the illiterate population though....its not fair that if men get to do something why cant women do the same...doesn't make sense and i totally disagree with them not being allowed to drive...i guess this happend in the 60's the whole depend on the man situation..how backwards..

why women are not allowed to drive in KSA ?
according to what I know, when women where allowed to drive in KSA and when she get out of the house she never return .. why? .. because, the car is kidnapped and the woman is rapped in the middle of nowhere ..
-
@ hasan,
so ur saying that EACH and EVERY women that gets out her home, gets kidnapped and raped ??
the world has changed, u should laugh at ur comment, cause its a joke !!
If she drives a car she's raped, then if she goes to a mall? if she goes to school/college?
AND the rest of the world let the women drive, i dont here many rape stories !!
women should be equal to men in EVERYTHING !!

AH MAN! you had to put a sick image in my mind! its true tho....prison...DONT DROP THE SOAP! =P

Maybe they cant see where they're going because of the niqab they are forced to wear! LOL Just kidding. :P
All jokes aside.
Frankly, I don't see why women shouldn't be allowed to drive. Thats just plain sexist.
The miniumum universal age to drive should be 18. (Again, just my opinion.)
Generally, 16 year olds aren't very mature.

Dont you think its a joke to be ruled by a woman (according to the arab society)... however, what I wrote is said long time ago besides its not always when she get out she get rapped or .... it is most of the time but still we do not know why she is not allowed

there is not alot of GAYS in KSA as in USA or other western countries as the Saudi teens cannot wait till they marry to make sex .. so they start to rape .. however, maybe what I heard was just ball sh*t ... :)

In short men are just plain scared of women. They have dominated women for centuries. Slowly slowly women have become emancipated and have moved from the kitchen-place to the work-place. They are being promoted and more annd more women have high ranking jobs.
Men are just too scared to think about women being equal to them; so we put restrictions on them like what we have been talking about in this thread. This just makes women more resistant and they will fight to break free of their restraints.
The very word sexism makes me boil with rage, so I dont see y women shouldnt be able to drive in KSA. And Hasan, arab women who wear a helluva lot less than women in the KSA drive cars in the UAE..... THEY DONT GET RAPED !!!!
-
Aight, me does NOT believe that mean and women shoudl be treated the same, it just can't, it never happenned and it never will, it is literally and impossible and unrealistic.
But in case of driving, yea i think they deserve to get their licenses, and By the way, Saudi Arabia apart, all women already have that right, and the reason why Saudi aint lettin women drive is traditions and cultural retardedness , so there aint no point discussing it
Kids drivin, yes, it should be allowed. First, we aint waitin for the license nor your permission, we gonna be driven whether yall like it or not
Second, why SHOULDN'T we? ther're plenty of people within legal age who are more immature and carless than teans, all the way from the dumb blonde thats talkin to her BFF while shes driving and the parent who is trying to get his children to behave and to the people who just got too much things in mind to focus on the road, so why should teens be treated any different? I think they should take down the driving age to 15, by which time the kids would be tall enough to look above the steering wheel.
-
I agree with u ... bas i think that 16 yr olds could be allowed 2 drive in countries depending on weather its safe or not , some countries have traffic problems but others have really cool and calm streets!!!
-
i just have to say the people in Saudi r dif then in the UAE
i have experience
-
Maturity doesn't come with age, it comes with responsibilty. cus there are a lot of cases in which you find a 16 yr old way more mature than an 18 yr old...so i suggest giving a chance to 16 yr olds too, i think a much more vigorous test will do, provided they are up for the task.
When it comes to women driving, i believe in gender equality so i think an equal chance should be given to all because it depends not on what you are but what you can do and how well you can do it.
-
i will never drive ..man drivin is crazy , and i get scared if i drive :-[ looool :-\
-
lol in my country the government is plan to change the policy that even you pass the driving test you might need to have another test to test your ability.
What for to have so many test? ??? ??? the government is only think $$$$ not from our society point of view.
i get angry when i being train by my instructor and i pass my test at the third test.
Really dissapointed to my government if they really implement this policy
