Muslim Driving School

Muslim Driving School
BBC

Episode 1-6

An insight into the lives of women and their families, from Burnley to Bradford, as learner drivers and their instructors tell stories
from their homes as well as their cars. With exclusive access to driving schools across the north of England which specialise in teaching Muslim women, the programme follows first-time drivers negotiating perilous streets. The relationship between instructor and student is intimate because of a shared understanding of the cultural restrictions that Muslim women experience. For them, driving isn't just a pleasure pursuit - it confers freedom and status.
