Reply To: The real reason for the ban against chassidish women driving?

DM: That would be a difficult hanhaga to impose and people might not adhere to it. The driving rule has been in force for well over half a century and very well adhered to, for the most part. The S”A says they shouldn’t leave too much, not that they can’t ever leave. By placing a restriction on driving it accomplishes a limitation. The other items you wonder why aren’t restricted, would almost make it into a ban on necessary and permissible travel.
