When I got home from work yesterday I walked to my mailbox and spotted my neighbor. We struck up polite conversation, consistent with social distancing mandates of course. During our conversation he expressed uncertainty as to whether he could drive during the Governor’s Safer at Home order.
I do not believe my neighbor knew I was a lawyer and he was not looking for any sort of legal advice. His question struck me though as it was one that I had not considered before that moment. If you are reading this there is a good chance you have a level of uncertainty similar to my neighbor. Given the news reporting and even the language of the order itself it is understandable why a fair amount of people may have some confusion about whether they can drive during this time frame.
My neighbor informed me that he found our brief conversation helpful so I thought I would share the gist of my conversation with you in the hope that it may be able to provide you with a small amount of certainty during this extraordinary time.
