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.
