The ban comes from a strict interpretation of a woman’s need to be with a legal guardian in public.

Even respecting this prehistoric law, women should drive because you are not exposing yourself in public while driving.

The law is not about a woman exposing herself. It is about the woman needing to have a male legal guardian with her in public at all times. So what is the point of driving if she has to have a man with her when she is driving Huh?

he might as well do something useful and drive her around Grin

WORD. Driving is a really big step, how about they focus on letting women go to the mailbox on her own. BABY steps people!!

I think you misunderstood. I was trying to say that women should be able to walk to the mailbox without an escort, before they gain the ability to drive.
