Rabbi Shabtai Levi, head of the Halachic Court 'Halichot Moshe' and chief rabbi of Ramat Aharon in Bnei Brak, addresses a common question for travelers regarding ritual hand washing. He explains that one who is about to go on a trip and wishes to wash their hands at home before continuing to eat in the car should do so properly at home before departure. This guidance ensures the fulfillment of the ritual washing requirement even when the meal continues outside the home environment.
