Question

In the Shazar Tunnel in Jerusalem, there is a crane that overshadows the old Shaarei Tzedek cemetery and also the road. The question is whether it is permissible to drive there in a car, as the car is considered a tent, and thus I am in a tent within a tent. Is it permissible for a Kohen to drive there? Tremendous thanks!

Answer

Hello 

It is forbidden for a Kohen to drive there. 

The car does not act as a barrier because it is a 'moving tent'.
