Are the Saudi public ready for female drivers?

The owner of this bumper sticker seems to think not.

  • Why are her eyes kind wonky? Maybe it’s just a campaign against women drivers with eye defects…?

  • That’s why they teach them rabbits lay eggs… so they can use “women think rabbits lay eggs” as yet another random excuse to keep them from driving, perhaps. Maybe?

  • Yeah, I’m also against women-who-always-look-around-sidelong drivers. They’re pretty dangerous.

  • I just really don’t know what to say when I think about how brazen a sticker like this is.

    Especially when you reflect that the sticker won’t be a tongue-in-cheek joke for the owner, it’ll be a heartfelt protest.

    Can you imagine how many scratches (or slashed tyres) would suddenly appear on the side of a parked car in England that expressed a similar sentiment?

  • if you ignore the steering wheel it could be understood as
    no to wearing the veil?

    :)

  • True, or even no to women.

  • You should’ve asked…whether KSA was ready for the internal combustion engine…

  • Oum Fatima Rose

    Not so much a comment on the sticker, but on women driving in KSA —

    A couple months ago I saw a news story on the Saudi Channel KSA2, about a 10 year old girl who had been driving on a public road and caused an accident.

    Some people who are against women driving were using this as an example of why women shouldn’t be allowed to drive.

    Ummm, yeaahhh. I think this is more an example of why CHILDREN shouldn’t be allowed to drive.
