Editing Driving (section)

==Driving bans==
It is possible for a driver to be suspended or disqualified (banned) from driving, either for a short time or permanently. This is usually in response to a serious traffic offence (for example, causing death due to drink driving), repeated minor traffic offences (for example, accruing too many demerit points for speeding), or for a specific medical condition which prevents driving, pending a future assessment (for example, a traumatic brain injury).

Some jurisdictions implement [[road space rationing]], where vehicles are banned from driving on certain days depending on a variety of criteria, most commonly the letters and digits in their [[vehicle registration plate]].

A few countries banned women driving in the past. In [[Oman]], women were not allowed to drive until 1970.<ref>{{cite web|title=Here's what Omani women say about Saudi lifting its ban on women drivers|url=http://timesofoman.com/article/118197|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180629022302/http://timesofoman.com/article/118197|archive-date=June 29, 2018|access-date=28 June 2018|work=Times of Oman}}</ref> In [[Saudi Arabia]], women were not issued driving licenses until 2018. Saudi women had periodically staged driving protests against these restrictions and in September 2017, the Saudi government agreed to lift the ban, which went into effect in June 2018.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/26/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-women-drive.html|title=Saudi Arabia Agrees to Let Women Drive|first=Ben|last=Hubbard|newspaper=The New York Times|date=September 26, 2017}}</ref>
