Saudi Arabia's King Salman has issued a decree allowing women to drive for the first time, to the joy of activists, reported BBC.
The Gulf kingdom is the only country in the world that bans women from driving.
Until now, only men were allowed licences and women who drove in public risked being arrested and fined.

"I'm going to buy my dream car, a convertible Mustang, and it's going to be black and yellow!"
