Voluntary Prayer by the Driver While Traveling and Bowing with the Head

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes. Honorable Shaykh, if a person is driving his car while traveling and he wants to perform a voluntary prayer, how does he bow with his head, since he must watch the road?

Answer:
He bows as much as he is able. It is obligatory for him to bow in a way that prevents him from seeing the road. He should bow, even if it is a slight bow, to the extent of his ability.
