According to a Hadith, narrated by Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu anhu), Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "I take oath by The Being Who has sent me with the Haqq (Truth)! The world will not come to an end until earthquakes, the descent of showers of stones (from the heaven) and disfigurement of faces (which will be transformed into apes and swines) had not taken place.' The Sahaabah radiallahu anhum said: 'When will that happen, O Rasulullah?' He replied: 'When you see women seated on saddles (i.e. riding horses and in this age, driving cars); when singing girls are to be found in profusion; when false testimony becomes rampant, and when homosexuality and lesbianism become prevalent." (Bazzaar and Tibraani)
All the evil deeds mentioned in this Hadith are widely prevalent in this age.

Is Driving of woman considered here in this Hadith?
This is a real question, I have read many Hadith about the woman amongst the Sahaba riding horses. But how correct is this statment?
The Saudi law as every one know is that woman cant drive cars. The major reason behind that she would be without a mahram and that she would be alone if any thing would happen to the car. It is there to protect the woman, or does this have something to do with it.
My wife is learning to drive by a good practicing female instructor. Is this wrong?
What do you guys out there make of this?
