Question
Hello, A person who sets out on a journey by car alone should recite the blessing when they are 5 km away from an inhabited area. If they are the driver, it is forbidden to bless while driving. What should they do?

Hello
Ideally, one should stop and recite the blessing, but if this is difficult, they may bless while driving.
