Is Driving a Right? Saudi Women Defy Ban

Several Saudi women were arrested this week when they took to the streets -- in cars -- to protest laws that prevent them from driving.

We have debated whether being able to drive is a right, specifically when talking about teenagers in the U.S.

But in the case of the Saudi Arabian law, it just seems silly and misogynistic to prevent someone from driving because they are not men. Unless the government believes the stereotype that women are just bad drivers.

Recent starting grids for the Indianpolis 500 refute that silly theory.

What do you think? Is driving a right?
