emang kenapa nyetir pakai niqab?
soale gw ngga pernah pakai chador sambil nyetir,
walaupun kalau musim dingin pakai jaket berlapis-lapis dan penutup kepala
juga.
apa mengurangi visibility?
selama mematuhi kalau diperlukan memperlihatkan wajah sesuai aturan
ya biarin aja, entah pakai niqab, atau cuma pakai bikini :-)
kalau pengemudi lain jadi tolah-toleh
ya itu salahnya,
lha wong nyetir kok lirak-lirik ke sana kemari

Appeal to ban driving with niqab in Kuwait
Published Date: April 29, 2010
By Hussain Al-Qatari, Staff Writer
KUWAIT: A famous political online community forum is pushing for liberal
MPs to submit a question to the Minister of Interior Sheikh Jaber Al-Sabah
on why women wearing niqabs are allowed to drive without being fined.
According to a law passed in 2006, women covering their faces are not
allowed to drive cars in Kuwait, but this law has not been put into
practice. The posted announcement on the online forum quotes driving safety
as the reason for this incentive, and says that since other MPs are
submitting
questions which demand that the law be practiced and followed thoroughly,
this is one of the laws that has been ignored for a while and, it insists:
It is about time that it is put into practice.
Reactions to this incentive varied: Many of those who are supportive of
women wearing niqab and driving insisted that the application of the law is
a violation of the laws and customs of religion, and goes against the
freedom granted by the Constitution to Kuwaiti citizens.
Many others consider this an honest call for indecency and an encouragement
to corruption and immorality. However, a lot of supporters of this law
expressed that it needs to be applied if the government insists on going by
the rules. The niqab is arguably not a religious must; it is a tradition
inherited from the old days through life in the desert. Citizen Abdullah
Al-Aif, 38, thinks that if the government insists on applying this law and
controlling women's dress code, then they should also consider a law against
wearing the headdress men wear with traditional attire.
It is like the niqab. It can be bothersome to many drivers, he said,
mockingly to the Kuwait Times. Latifa Al-Ajmi, 27, is a woman who wears the
niqab and drives. She says that it does not bother her to drive while
wearing the niqab most days. When there are check points, police men ask me
to reveal my face when I present them with my driving license. It is a
necessity; they must know who is driving the car. I have no problem
revealing my face then, she said, stressing that a niqab is not usually
worn
religiously.
If the law is applied, Latifa says that she doesn't see a problem in taking
off her niqab while driving, I work close to where I live; I don't have a
problem making the short commute to the school where I work without wearing
my niqab. Inside the school, I only teach girls and so I feel comfortable
not wearing my niqab. Some of my colleagues and some students even take off
their hijab, since the school is a girls-only zone, she added. Latifa
believes that this issue is only surfacing for political reas
ons, and MPs will be the ones who benefit from it the most.
