It is worth calling to attention the matter of Jewish women and girls being careful about riding in a taxi or car driven by a male
[24] (where there may possibly be a concern of
yichud, etc.), and as known the discussion about this matter in
seforim.
[25] In such a situation, one should clarify the various laws and details concerning this matter by a
Rav who provides Halachic decisions.
