Woman driving car in Saudi molested by men

A woman defying a ban on female driving of cars in Saudi Arabia would surely have wished she was caught by the police instead of passers-by  who tried to molest her.

A brief YouTube showed a group of men booed and shoved their way towards the car before one of them opened the door, triggering a scream by the woman.

‘Sada’ newspaper said the video clip was apparently shot in Jeddah.

Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to drive but many of them have defied the ban and drove on the kingdom’s streets as part of campaigns staged by female activists over the past two years to have the ban lifted.

Newspapers have reported most of the women have been briefly detained by police.
