This study aims to look at the social, economic and security aspects in relation to the Saudi women’ driving of vehicles and place a prediction that would contribute to the enhancement of awareness in terms of traffic culture; that is, in order to lower the negative risks associated with a woman driving. This study has utilized the descriptive approach which is based on the interpretation of the status quo through the distribution of an electronic questionnaire. As for the sample of the study then that was selected randomly. The number of distributed questionnaires reached 108 in which 67 of them were filled and returned, to be used statistically.

The most prominent results of the study were that the least social effect would be improving women’s rights when it comes to driving as well as the contribution in society. The least in terms of economically would be an increase in the demand for women seeking employment, education and training. In terms of security, then it would be achieving traffic safety and lowering rush traffic, accidents over time. This study highlighted the existence of differences statistically speaking when it comes to males and females, placing females at an advantage.
