OurWorld: In the Driver's Seat


While women won't be officially allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia until June of this year, men and underage boys continue to get away with unsafe and illegal driving habits.  In Saudi Arabia it is not unusual to see toddlers sitting on Dad's lap while he's driving, or boys too young to get a driver's license behind the wheel.  Does Dad realize that any small impact will release the safety airbag and his child will likely be killed by that? I do hope that once women actually do start driving here that these shocking and foolish habits will disappear.

That is beyond reckless.

Good point. Will YOU be driving in a few months too, Susie?
Good luck!

My mother was very short and she had a hard enough time driving, particularly in the era before automatic transmissions became common. So, I can hardly imagine a much smaller child being able to control a car.

More proof that humans are not always the smartest people in the world ...
