Saudi Arabian women celebrates being able to drive for the first time in decades today, as the kingdom overturnes the world's only ban on female motorists, a historic reform expected to usher in a new era of social mobility.
In any country, one has to be an adult to qualify as a driver. But in Bangladesh, one does not have to obey that law to become a driver – and that literally means it is “allowed”.
Begging is not what Shahidul Islam wanted to do for a living. In fact, he always considered this particular way of making a living disgraceful, and wanted to earn his livelihood through decent means.
Reckless driving virtually wiped out two families yesterday as slack enforcement of traffic rules continue to give law-breaking drivers impunity, exposing thousands of road users to the constant danger.
