Twitter reactions exploded, with some angry at the man who recorded without the women’s permission.

Users are expressing divided opinion on the issue

Many are saying no one should try and be a ‘citizen police’ by documenting/filming the woman without her permission. A user said “Public facilities belongs to both men and women and woman shouldn’t be ‘reported’ while driving.” 

While others thought the man’s actions were completely appropriate

With another user says “Filming was necessary to prevent such acts from happening before driving rules are enforced.”

Towards the end of the video one of the woman could be heard asking to stop filming and it is in violation of her privacy

Some are calling for the arrest of both the man and the women for violating privacy and traffic regulations. 

However, the decree for women to be able to drive only comes into effect from June 2018. 

What’s your take on this?
