Woman traveling alone

Question:

Is there an issue with a woman driving a car alone long-distance at nighttime?
1. There is a possibility she will get stranded in a deserted area.
2. If her car breaks down she would have to take a taxi home with a non-Jewish male driver.

 

Answer:

Hello,

Correct, there is such a possibility, however that doesn't halachically prohibit her from driving in a car, even if the area is deserted. Possibly from a practical perspective, if she suspects that her car might break down she shouldn't do it.

Best wishes
