TOPSHOT - Saudi woman Sabika Habib gets ready to drive her car through the streets of Khobar City on her way to Kingdom of Bahrain. For the first time little after midnight the law allow women to drive on June 24, 2018. Saudi Arabia will allow women to drive from June 24, ending the world's only ban on female motorists, a historic reform marred by what rights groups call an expanding crackdown on activists. The move, which follows a sweeping crackdown on women activists who long opposed the ban, is part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's wide-ranging reform drive to modernise the conservative petrostate. / AFP PHOTO / HUSSAIN RADWAN
