Woman Takes DaddyÂ’s Car for 250-km Joyride
2007-01-20
HAIL, 20 January 2007 — Shoppers at a crowded shopping center in this north-central Saudi city caught a rare glimpse of a woman driving a car (rare, that is, if they’ve never traveled outside of the Kingdom), the daily Al-Watan reported yesterday. The 25-year-old was arrested in the city, but only after having driven 250 kilometers of highway from her farm to the south. Bystanders told the newspaper that they were amazed that the rebellious woman had made it that far. The brother of the woman said she had stolen her father’s car when he wasn’t looking. He said she had psychological issues. Perhaps she simply needed some drive time to herself.

#4  Her psychological issues may relate to her overactive bullsh_t detector. It is amazing that the fathers put up with this and don't get tired of leaving the office to drive their children to after school activities. There are no soccer moms there, only dads who miss work to take children to the doctor, music lessons, and soccer practice.
