The Associated Press -
A Saudi online newspaper says Oman is proposing that women be banned from
wearing face veils when driving.
Al-Watan said Tuesday Oman made the proposal at a meeting of Gulf Cooperation
Council police traffic department heads. It singled out the niqab, a
mask that covers a woman's face, leaving only a slit for her eyes.
The Oman delegate said that wearing a niqab while driving should be a
traffic violation, indicating that the garment restricts vision and
represents a hazard.
The traffic police chiefs met in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia to discuss unification of traffic laws. They are referring
proposals back to their governments.
In Saudi Arabia itself, such a regulation would have no immediate effect as
women are forbidden to drive there.
