Question

A person who ate a meat meal and went on an urgent night drive while in a state of extreme fatigue due to a previous sleepless night and great physical exertion during the day. The only way for him to drive safely and reach his destination is by drinking milky coffee. Is there room to be lenient for an Ashkenazi?

Answer

Shalom Rav

After one hour from eating meat, for Ashkenazim, when there are no milk substitutes available - it is permitted.
