Foreigners would be arrested for performing an illegal activity, i.e. women driving. However, depending on the country, the foreigner's embassy may be able to get him/her deported so that he/she will not have to be punished according to the Saudi penal code. If the embassy does not intervene, the Saudis will apply their penal to the foreigner exactly as if that person is a Saudi citizen or resident. Crime is not tolerated in Saudi Arabia.

As for the question of woman driving, it is illegal. Just because an activity in Country A is legal does not mean than the person from that Country A is able to live according to Country A's rules in Country B. The person has to live acording to the rules of Country B and will be penalized according to Country B's laws for failure to comply. Conversely, if something is legal in Country B, but illegal in Country A, a person from Country A who goes to Country B can perform the activity without worry since only Country B's laws apply. Extraterriorality, i.e. having the laws of a different jurisdiction apply to certain people, does not exist except in certain areas under military occupation.

If the police came out and made a report of it then it will be on your driving record. It will be a not-at-fault accident but it will still be on your driving record.
