Two more Saudi women have defied a ban on driving in support of other females protesting the ban in the kingdom.
Iman al-Nafjan and Sara al-Khalidi responded to a call on the Internet for women in Riyadh to get behind the wheel, after a show of defiance on Friday in which 42 women took to the road.
Nafjan said she had driven Wednesday despite a harassing message stuck to the windscreen of her mother's car.
The handwritten note read "Plz do not drive" on one side and carried an insult on the other.
"This threat will not stop me," Nafjan was quoted as saying by AFP.
Khalidi also said she has been driving since Friday's protest, adding that she had driven again on Wednesday before being stopped by a traffic policeman, who told her that she should drive home without stopping.
However, she explained that "people encourage me when they've seen me driving these last few days."
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where women are prohibited from driving.
The ongoing campaign against the ban goes back to the arrest of 32-year-old Manal al-Sherif, who pioneered the female movement.
