Seclusion during a Jeep Tour

Yichud

Question

Is there a problem of seclusion (Yichud) in a group of girls taking a jeep tour in an open area with a driver? I do not have information if there will be other jeeps on the route..

Answer

Dear …!
The prohibition of seclusion in an open area is only in a place where it is not common for a vehicle to pass by every 5 minutes.
[There is no need for people or cars to actually pass there every 5 minutes, it is enough that this is the situation there].
On regular jeep routes, it is very common for other groups to be present.
