Driving schools for women in Saudi Arabia will be operational in March, almost four months ahead of the day when women are officially allowed to drive on Saudi roads.
The date should be enough for women to go through the training process and acquire the necessary skills to pass the test and drive, Saudi daily Okaz reported on Sunday, citing sources it did not name.
However, the sources did not mention whether the driving schools would be new ones exclusively for women or set up within the already existing schools across the kingdom.
Saudi reports last month said that all the driving instructors would be women and that the first ones would be from Egypt and Jordan.
