(MENAFN) The Saudi Traffic Department has denied media reports that women visiting the Kingdom who hold an international driving license are being allowed to drive vehicles for one year starting from the date of their entry into the country, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The Director General of the Traffic Department, General Mohammed Al-Bassami, pointed out "the test for women who are holding a foreign driving license and want to replace it with a Saudi licence, will be carried out immediately after the completion of necessary preparations
According to the Saudi newspaper Okaz, which published the allegedly erroneous claim, the Traffic Department has already started to replace international licences for women visiting Saudi Arabia."
Al-Bassami, though, underlined the need to refer to official spokesmen for accurate information on public affairs, especially with regard to women driving in the Kingdom.
