Man fined for allowing wife to drive car

Saudi police chased and detained a local man for allowing his wife to drive the car while he was sat next to her, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

Surprised residents called the police when they saw a woman driving a car through the streets of the eastern town of Khobar, Facenews said.

“Police chased them and caught the two at a petrol station…they detained them and later they released the two after forcing the husband to pay a fine.”

Women are banned from driving cars in most areas in Saudi Arabia, one of the most conservative Moslem nations.
