Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Saudi women's rights activists posted a video on social media websites showing a veiled woman driving a car Saturday in Al-Takhsosi Street in Riyadh, Al-Hayat daily reported. Male drivers on the street appeared to be accepting the sight of a woman cruising in a vehicle down the street. The activists released the video less than three weeks from a campaign calling for women to be allowed to drive that is scheduled to launch on Oct. 26. The campaign has gathered the support of more than 12,000 people. Asma Al-Oboudi, one of the activists, who also took part in the 1990 campaign advocating for women's right to drive in the Kingdom, said there is nothing in the law that bans women from driving. She referred to the video saying, “This video shows that everything went normal with the lady driving in the street. No problems took place. “No one should worry about women driving because women will abide by traffic rules.”
