According to Wikipedia, "Women are forbidden to drive in Saudi per a 1990 fatwā (religious ruling)." So what's a Sharia-compliant gal to do when she wants to run down to the mall to pick up a few things but there's no male relative to chauffeur her? Share the joy of the monarchy's "First Woman Driver (Sharia Approved)." It may not be quite up to speed with Female Formula One, but in its way "Saudi Arabia's Sharia-Approved Car for Women!" refuels the venerable woman-driver joke with a fresh burst of energy. Enjoy the ride!

It's still gonna be tough for Saudi gals when they drive.
It's hard to see stop signs, traffic signals and other cars through the burqa eyeholes.
