Woman Breaks Law by Driving to Save Father
2006-01-23
I thought I felt the Earth wobble on its axis this morning...
YANBU, 23 January 2006 — A 19-year-old daughter saved her father by driving more than 25 kilometers in the desert, the Al-Madinah daily reported. The father was camping in the desert when he began suffering from heart pain. He called home for help. His daughter took her father in the car and drove at high speed for emergency treatment, saving his life by breaking the law against women driving — not to mention speeding.

#8  Yeah, you're right. Her best bet is probably to leave with haste.

#7  Best thing that can happen is some "close male relative" the father trusts smuggle her out of the country...

#6  I predict an "honor" killing by the father once he recovers.

#4  They'll let it slide....this time.

Not likely. Outside of Israel, Western-style logic is a rather scarce commodity in the Middle East.

#3  don't bet on it, DB. When it comes to women breaking the law they don't usually make ANY exceptions. Exceptions are only for men.
