Saudi men cant drive. Some Saudi will drive with a full veil on despite the danger that it obviously presents. I have seen this in other ME countries If Saudi women drive twice a good as the Saudi men there will still be lots of accidents. Saudi men cant drive.

Through misinforming them over the years. As to what constitutes six inches. “Saudi women are driving for change”

I'm glad about this protest, it's brilliant that women are standing up and doing something about sexism! Good on them! :) I second “An Elephant’s Child”‘s comment, although there could be other factors affecting road accidents such as road quality, current laws and speed limits, etc. so it would be very hard to tell.

If they do have fewer accidents then it is probably for some other reason or something or . . .

The women, again by their stupid laws, are not allowed to show themselves in public! I've spent 2 weeks in that country on business and to say it is shocking out there is an understatement, it's barbaric the way they treat not only women, but men as well. It is like hell on earth out there.
