A suggestion has been raised during the development of the regulations upon the decree of women being able to drive soon. It’s a slightly odd one, but understandable- to an extent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the main suggestions is to exempt women from some traffic violation penalties that men usually goes for everyone, reportedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Some penalties are not suitable for women’, the source said<\/h3>\n

Some of the penalties, at hand, being questioned as a driver of a vehicle and asked to stop and detaining a vehicle. Regular and basic penalties that usually everyone faces in the driving world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reportedly, a solution to this could be ‘paying a penalty without the need to be stopped or to detain a woman’s vehicle’<\/h3>\n

A source told Al- Watan newspaper that the solution or alternative could just be paying the penalty instead of being pulled over or having a woman’s car detained. This, of course, goes in parallel with the societal customs and traditions of the Gulf- to help make women feel more at ease with driving.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No confirmations have been made yet, but a press conference next week should clear all our confusion\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Details on the rules and regulations on women driving by next year will be discussed in a press conference next week. Hopefully all our confusion on driving dates, driving schools and etc will be answered.<\/p>\n
