10 thousand driving schools for women in Saudi Arabia

16-7-2018

After Saudi women were allowed to drive inside Saudi Arabia (c.f: https://goo.gl/A52YQu), driving schools thrived in the Kingdom to reach nearly 10,000 offices, Al Diyar reported yesterday. The newspaper pointed out that women enrolled in driving offices belong to the age group (20-30 years) and are expected to become drivers in two months. According to the plan, some 100,000 women will learn to drive in the immediate future and 250,000 women over a year, which is the highest record for a country in the world. Saudi Arabia, Al Diyar wrote, is anticipated to import half a million additional cars, noting that households and parents have by now purchased or booked cars for their daughters to be delivered to them during this coming September and the New Year.
