Women to be exempted from some traffic penalties
Women drivers might be exempted from being questioned by stopping their cars
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
After allowing women to drive in September 2017, followinga royal decree issued by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Saudi Arabia is looking at exempting women from some traffic violation penalties.
Al Arabiya reported that some of the penalties are not suitable for women.
Some of the exemptions would include stopping the vehicle to question the driver of a vehicle or detaining the vehicle, the story further states.
A press conference will be held next week providing more clarity on the new sanctions and the date from when women can start learning to drive in different parts of the country.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
