– Q. K’vod Rabboseinu, It seems that the idea of our observant women driving a vehicle in our Torah community is frowned upon. Do you have any idea why that could be? And if it a meritorious approach, why do not other Torah communities have this attitude?

A. Although in most Orthodox communities women do drive cars, in some specially the Chassidic congregations, they are stringent.

However, in our days when tinted glass is common, there is more room for leniency, since it is often difficult to see who is actually driving the car.

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should maintain the traditions of ones congregation.
