I completely agree: it's not required that she drive. If she wishes to drive, then she needs to let her face be photographed.
I was also considering the need to have photo ID. She couldn't even get a regular state ID, using her line of reasoning. That would leave her with few options of obtaining photo ID, which is more or less required in this society.
Someone commenting on this news item on the noon-hour news said that it is permissible for Muslim women to remove their veils for official documents. If this is true, then the woman really doesn't have much of an argument to stand on.
