Most of the society is very conservative..

Their rationale is that firstly, there is no real reason for women to drive..

Secondly, that they do not want to risk the consequences of male / female interaction on the roads. Men will be ogling or following women etc.

Thirdly .. They do not have mechanisms in place to deal with female drivers..ie.. no female police officers, what happens in the case of an accident etc etc,

Personaly, I am totally against it, however as i said earlier, its their country.
