Driving is seen as a liberation for women. For them is a choice, the choice of independent movement, without asking for their husband's permission.

For years, families have hired private drivers to take women where they wanted.

The lifting of the driving ban was announced last September and is part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's programme to modernise some aspects of Saudi society.
