I am writing with regard to the post "Is it safe to let women drive on the roads?" (Oct. 17). Women can and should be able to drive in Saudi Arabia and every other country on the planet. The pathetic excuses for not letting women drive are ridiculous and unacceptable. There is only the fact that weak Saudi men are afraid of women getting more power because they are better than Saudi men in most ways. Let them drive and don't let men drive for a few years and watch how the economy will improve 10 times over. Geoffrey Bertonneau, Online response
