[Avodah] driving on shabbat

[Eli Turkel]

Even if they have heard of the concept of not driving on Shabbos
doesn't mean they assume that  Yidden are forbidden to do so; they
assume it's a personal chumra of a select few. >>

reminds of a story from our local LOR in Raanana.

RSZA paskens that if a car stops you on shabbat to ask directions
you should remind him its shabbat and then give him directions to limit
his chillul shabbat.

Our rabbi decided to try it out. Instead of ignoring the request as he
usually does he answered the first driver that asked him that it was
shabbat. Before he had a chance to continue and give directions the
driver said "sorry" and sped off.

In any case it is common for drivers on shabbat to stop someone with a
kippah and ask for directions. They dont even think about it
