Saudi Arabian women will be able to drive trucks and motorcycles, officials have said, three months after the kingdom announced a historic decision to end a ban on women driving. In September, King Salman issued a decree saying women will be able to drive from next June as part of an ambitious reform push in the conservative kingdom. The Saudi General Directorate of Traffic gave details of the new regulations that will follow the lifting of the ban on the official Saudi Press Agency late on Friday. 'Yes, we will authorise women to drive motorcycles' as well as trucks, it said, adding that the royal decree stipulates that the law on driving will be 'equal' for both men and women. There will be no special licence plate numbers for female-driven cars, it said.
