Saudi Clerics: Women Will Turn Gay If They Drive

Religious leaders in Saudi Arabia hope to make an example of a woman recently caught driving — illegal in the Muslim nation — and she could receive 10 lashes, all because some believe women taking the wheel will become promiscuous or gay.

Lacking any other form of transportation, Shaima Jastaniya drove to the hospital earlier this year before being arrested by Saudi police. While she was initially sentenced to a brutal whipping, the Saudi king pardoned her after a global outcry. But a local court recently informed Jastaniya that her sentencing will stand. While Jastaniya appeals that verdict, many fear ultraconservative clerics within the Saudi government want to make her an example.

5. My Aunt was the oldest female in Kentucky to ever be issued a drivers license for the first time.

She was 84 at the time of the issuance of the license (1983). She could no longer walk to town from the hollow she lived in.

When we were teaching her how to drive, I asked her why she never learned & she responded I did, but back then you had to start the car from the front with a crank & you didn't need a license to drive. Bless her soul.

8. My Grandmother drove until you needed a license

in Kentucky, then she never bothered to drive again. I don't know why she didn't just get her license? It wasn't like there was crazy traffic in Paintsville, KY or anything, LOL.
