Iran officially allows women to ride motorcycles

Local media disclosed this on Wednesday, Feb. 4, ending years of legal ambiguity surrounding two-wheelers.

The law previously did not explicitly prohibit women from riding motorbikes and scooters, but in practice, authorities refused to issue licences.

Due to the legal grey area, women have been held legally responsible for accidents.

Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref signed a resolution on Tuesday, Feb. 3, aimed at clarifying the traffic code, which was approved by Iran’s cabinet in late January, the country’s Ilna news agency reported.

The resolution obliges traffic police to “provide practical training to female applicants, organise an exam under the direct supervision of the police, and issue motorcycle driver’s licences to women,” Ilna said.

The change follows a wave of protests across Iran that were initially sparked by economic grievances but which grew last month into nationwide anti-government demonstrations.

NAFDAC says ban on sachet alcohol is to protect children

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says its enforcement of the ban on alcoholic beverages in sachets and small plastic or glass bottles is aimed at protecting children and young people and not punishing manufacturers. In a statement on Thursday, January 29, NAFDAC director-general, Mojisola Adeyeye, said the policy was driven by public health concerns and growing evidence that alcohol packaged in sachets and containers below 200 milliliters has increased underage drinking across the country. The agency recently began enforcement of the ban following a directive by the senate, with the backing of the ministry of health and social welfare. According to Adeyeye, the small and cheap packaging of high-alcohol-content drinks makes them “easily accessible, affordable and concealable”, leading to widespread misuse among minors and some commercial drivers. “This ban is not punitive; it is protective.
