A row is raging over a video in which a man 'verbally abuses' a woman driver in Saudi Arabia. The footage has gone viral and evoked a massive response.
Interestingly, the man himself has filmed the video. He walks around the woman's car while filming it and shouts, "Look, see what she's doing!"
The man doesn't stop at this. He shows audacity to approach the driver's window, making an attempt to film the inside of the vehicle. The alert woman rolls up the window.
Last month, Saudi Arabia allowed women to drive, lifting a long-standing ban on women driving. The order is to be implemented by June 2018.

The video has attracted widespread attention and invited a flood of tweets. Some have backed the woman and flayed the man for abusing the lady.
"She went against the law. He invaded her privacy in the most disgusting way... both of them deserve to be punished."
However, there were a few who attacked the woman and objected to her driving the car as the decree is yet to be officially implemented.
"Even if they were technically breaking the law, he has no right to film them like this. His behavior is unacceptable."
