MARYAM’S BLOG
I’m so excited. I finally got my driving
licence. Before now, it was impossible for
women to get a licence here in Saudi
Arabia. We took taxis everywhere and we needed
permission from our husbands, fathers or sons to
travel alone. We still need a man’s permission for
some things, such as going abroad. There were many
restrictions for women but things are changing now.

Wow, Maryam, that’s great news! Here in Manchester,
many women drive and men don’t do anything without
their wives’ permission. Ha, ha! I took some driving
lessons when I was 18 but I never passed my test. When
we go out, my husband always drives us. I really want to
learn to drive, but I don’t feel very confident about it.
Carla 25 minutes ago

That’s terrific, Maryam! I can’t imagine life without my car.

I live quite far from the city in a small town in Texas. There
aren’t any trains or trams here. I learned to drive when

I was 17, and when I finished school, I became a bus

driver. Now, I’m studying to be a mechanic, and I want to
open my own business.
