Women driving schools under construction in Saudi

Riyadh — The problem of crowding at women driving schools will soon be solved as several driving schools are under construction, said Director of the Traffic Department Maj. Gen. Muhammad Al-Bassami.

Attending the inauguration of the Traffic Safety Initiative Exhibition here on Monday, he said the focus is to create traffic safety awareness in the youth through practical programs.

He said traffic safety initiative programs have been started in Assir, Tabuk, and Jeddah. These will be started in other regions of the Kingdom soon.

Bassami said that every school should have traffic safety awareness program simulators and models and training courses for students. This initiative should start from the kindergarten, he said.
