They had to sign a commitment not to reoffend," it  added.       Saudi Arabia in late June arrested five Saudi women for getting behind  the wheel in defiance of a ban on female drivers in the  ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom.       Their actions came in response to a call on the Internet for women in  Riyadh to drive, after a show of defiance on 17 June in which 42 women  took to the road.       Since then, "women defy the ban each day in different cities of the  kingdom," an activist told AFP on condition of anonymity, noting her own  mother had done so in Riyadh.       No law officially forbids women from driving in Saudi Arabia but a  religious edict stipulates that women must be driven by a male chauffeur  or family member.
