Riyadh
(AFP) - A university in Saudi Arabia has said it will open a driving school for
women, in a first for the ultra-conservative country after a ban on women
driving was lifted.
"Princess
Nourah University is preparing to set up a driving school in cooperation with
the relevant authorities," the women's university said on Saturday.
"This
is the first such announcement following this week's order by King Salman to
allow women to drive," it said.
Saudi
Arabia on Tuesday said it would allow driving permits for women under a royal
decree to take effect in June, sparking euphoria and disbelief among activists
who long fought the ban.
The Gulf
kingdom was the only country in the world to ban women from taking the wheel,
and it was seen globally as a symbol of repression in the Gulf kingdom.
Princess
Nourah University says it has more than 60,000 female students in Riyadh and other
cities.
Tuesday's
decision is expected to push women into the workforce and boost car sales,
especially in the coming months before a scheduled imposition of a government
value-added tax in January 2018.
Car makers
including Nissan, Chevrolet and Ford have rushed to congratulate Saudi women,
as millions of women are expected to hit the road in the kingdom in coming
years.

“… With free choice, the percentage of DNA efficiently started to go down as humanity grew. As soon as the DNA started to lose percentage, the gender balance was dysfunctional. If you want to have a test of any society, anywhere on the planet, and you want to know the DNA percentage number [consciousness quota] as a society, there's an easy test: How do they perceive and treat their women? The higher the DNA functionality, the more the feminine divine is honored. This is the test! Different cultures create different DNA consciousness, even at the same time on the planet. So you can have a culture on Earth at 25 percent and one at 37 - and if you did, they would indeed clash. …”

Part of this is what you call "the establishment". Watch for some very big established things to fall over! The snowball will simply knock them down. …”
