Saudi Women and Driving

A French delegation failed to persuade the Saudi government to legalize women's driving. You know, Muhammad's favorite wife after Khadija was 'Aisha bt. Abu Bakr, who stands in the Muslim tradition as one of the most important transmitters of hadith, the stories of the Prophet's words and deeds which serve as a key basis for Islamic law. Historically, she also played a role in the politics of the early community, and was a leader in the Battle of the Camel. I wonder how she would fare in modern Saudi Arabia?
