Description: An intimate and revelatory insight into the lives of women and their families, from Burnley to Bradford. The documentary series delves into the world of learner drivers and their instructors, telling 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 new drivers negotiating perilous streets for the first time.Unlike many driving schools, those featured foster a specific relationship between instructor and student 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, and opens up job opportunities that would otherwise be unreachable.Grandmother Taslima Dhin has spent her life at home, bringing up her children. Aged 58, she needs to learn to drive to take her ill husband for regular hospital visits in Bradford. Taslima isn't just challenging convention by taking driving lessons: her instructor is a man to whom she's not related, which forces her to ask questions about the traditions she's held dear. Thirty-eight-year-old Humera Ahmed wants to learn to drive so she can to take her children to school. Despite the prevailing traditions of conservative Muslim communities, her instructor, Mr Ramzan - who is also an imam at a local mosque - believes that motors aren't just for men. The only issue is, will Humera be ready for her test before his patience runs out?Korsa Bibi, one of only two Muslim driving instructors in Blackburn to wear a veil, takes on a new student. Aysha is 20, married with a two-year-old son, and wears the veil - yet she was born Stacey. Her dark past is something she wants to leave behind.

@m0onr4y And about your comment about me saying shit about coming down to places to fight and stuff, i didnt start that, the other paki did, so stfu. You say stuff, then you think you owned me when you... just didnt. I mean, you laugh at me for saying to come down to a place for a fight, then you do it too? LOL you make no sense whatsoever. And no, the reason i exist isnt really for racial tolerance, thats just bullshit you make up, so stfu and try again.
@m0onr4y I rofl'd at the way you are trying to make me stop taking the piss out of paki's. Wow is an imbred breeding ground? Right, Well, Thats obviously something you made up because nobody really says that, and since im not imbred, it aint is it? If you're going to take the piss out of something, try to use something that everyone else uses, like "Wow is for fat nerds" etcIm challenging my own existence? You like to make shit up dont you? The word of a paki means nothing anyway. Bye.
@Ownagedante Throw all the superficial curry smell comments you want. It doesn't faze me in any way because they're not true. Fact is, you've become so lost that you don't realise by holding racist views you are challenging your own existence, b/c you're mixed race. Racial tolerance is the reason that you exist.This is something that you'd call 'ownage', haha
@Ownagedante Racism ftw? ok thenYour opinion doesn't matter, because you're a WOW playing mutt.Nobody wants to visit that 'fuhhin' inbred breeding ground. Funny how self proclaimed 'net hard lads say smthn along the lines of 'come down xyz'. No. You 'come down' to East Lancs Predators, Accrington, Sat 4-6pm, then tell me that Pakis cant fight 1v1. I'll even pay for your bus fare Don't dish it out if you cant take it.I'm not racist, so I apologize for the mutt comment. But you asked for it.
there is also nothing in the koran saying that women should wear those burqas. If a woman chooses to wear that thing I think theres something wrong with her
