Women who want the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to lift a de facto ban that prohibits them from driving have launched an online campaign urging Saudi females to stage a demonstration by driving cars on October 26."There is no justification for the Saudi government to prohibit adult women citizens who are capable of driving cars from doing so,"reads part of an online petition on the Oct26driving.com website.Since Saturday,it has garnered close to 11,000 signatures.No traffic law specifically prohibits females from driving in Saudi Arabia,but religious edicts there are often interpreted to mean women are not allowed to operate a vehicle.
