The issuance of motorcycle licenses for women remains caught between two legal and executive viewpoints. On one hand, the government decree has provided the groundwork for training and testing women, while on the other hand, some believe that the final resolution of this issue depends on amending the clause of Article 20 of the Traffic Violations Law and removing the word "men" from the text of the law.
Two Opposing Viewpoints on License Issuance
Following the approval of the government decree, which addresses the training and testing of women in the field of motorcycles, objections arose regarding the legal validity of this decree and the need to amend existing laws. Many believe that to achieve this goal, amendments to current laws are necessary, which will in turn prolong the process of issuing licenses for women.

The Need to Amend Clause 20 of the Law
Some legal experts emphasize that to eliminate ambiguity in issuing licenses for women, the word "men" must be removed from the text of the law. This amendment could help create equal conditions for women and facilitate the licensing process. Otherwise, motorcycle licenses for women will remain in uncertainty.
Currently, despite the government decree, many executive bodies are still cautious about issuing licenses for women, which exacerbates legal and social challenges. While many women are inclined to use motorcycles as a personal means of transportation, the lack of clear and transparent laws hinders the realization of this desire.
It seems that the Ministry of Interior and other relevant bodies need to address this issue more seriously and create appropriate legal mechanisms to facilitate the issuance of motorcycle licenses for women. Otherwise, this issue may become a social problem with negative repercussions for society.
