Barely a week after a senior Saudi scholar said women in the country should not be allowed to drive because they have "a quarter the brainpower of men", Saudi Arabia's king decreed that women will now be able to obtain a driver's licence.
The decree said that women would be allowed to drive "in accordance with the Islamic laws". Presumably this means they're allowed to drive as long as they're not chomping on a pork chop, drinking illicit liquor, watching porn, or engaging in prostitution. No speeding fines are issued if it can be proven that they were on their way to a public beheading.
Seems I got out just in time!
