A woman riding alone with the driver within the city

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a woman is within the city, is it permissible for her to ride alone with the driver?

Answer:
No, she must not ride alone.
A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitanرجل بامرأة إلا كان ثالثهما الشيطان
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2165Sahih (Darussalam)
Riding with the driver is more dangerous because he has control of the driving and the car. He can flee with it, and he can take her away from the city, and she is unable to resist him. Therefore, it is absolutely not permissible for her to ride alone with the driver if he is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her. Yes.
