Actually, I think it's an idea we should consider here in the states. Outlawing women drivers would save billions in insurance premiums.

Elroy, driving, I believe in North America, is privilege not a right. You are harping on women not being able to drive in Saudi, yet you fail to mention that women in Saudi can attain the highest education, and are engineers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, etc. And frankly, I do not want to be driving in Saudi just because the way the Saudis drive. It just came up as something that seems to me to be morally wrong - it's not the be all end all of the discussion. I was surprised others didn't go 'yeah, you're right, unelected rulers denying women the ability to drive is wrong'. I don't really harp on it that much, it was just one example of things that unelected leaders do that are wrong - there are much worse things for sure.
