Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 68:3 writes that if you are traveling before [[prayers]], then you should ideally recite it after the beracha of "[[gomel]] chasadim tovim liamo yisrael." [https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=201601 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Veetchanan 5782 min 13)] said that it is possible even to recite a bracha rishona on a sucking candy before Tefillat Haderech and that would also fulfill this concept.</ref> | ||

# If one is on a bus or train (or public transportation) and one is able to stand to say Tefillat HaDerech one should do so, otherwise one may say it seated. <Ref> In Gemara Brachot 30a Rav Sheshet says that one may say it walking while Rav Chisda says one should say it only standing. The Rif (Brachot 20b) rules that it is preferable to follow Rav Chisda. This is also the ruling of Rosh 4:18, Tur and Shulchan Aruch 110:4. Mishna Brurah 110:22 writes that if one if standing still will cause one not to be able to have concentration one may say it while walking or seated. Halacha Brurah 110:11, Ishei Yisrael 50:2, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 68:4, and Tefillah KeHilchata 27:27 rule similarly. Beer Moshe 7:114:2 writes that in a car and plane one should initially say it sitting since one can't stand.</ref> | # If one is on a bus or train (or public transportation) and one is able to stand to say Tefillat HaDerech one should do so, otherwise one may say it seated. <Ref> In Gemara Brachot 30a Rav Sheshet says that one may say it walking while Rav Chisda says one should say it only standing.

# It is preferable to stop the car to make the bracha, however, if it is dangerous or it will disturb one’s concentration if one stops, one may say it while traveling. <Ref>Shulchan Aruch 110:4, Mishna Brurah 110:22, 23, Halacha Brurah 110:11 </ref> Some say that because of lack of safety in saying Tefillat HaDerech while driving and lack of kavana (proper intent) one may say it in the Shomeh [[Tefillah]] of the [[Shmoneh Esrei]] prior to leaving. <Ref>Tefillah KeHilchata (chap 27 note 80) in name of Rav Scheinberg says that if one will not be able to stop and one cannot say it while driving because of a safety hazard and lack of kavana one should say it in the Shomeh [[Tefillah]] of the [[Shmoneh Esrei]] prior to leaving. </ref> | # It is preferable to stop the car to make the bracha, however, if it is dangerous or it will disturb one’s concentration if one stops, one may say it while traveling. <Ref>Shulchan Aruch 110:4, Mishna Brurah 110:22, 23, Halacha Brurah 110:11 </ref> Some say that because of lack of safety in saying Tefillat HaDerech while driving and lack of kavana (proper intent) one may say it in the Shomeh [[Tefillah]] of the [[Shmoneh Esrei]] prior to leaving. <Ref>Tefillah KeHilchata (chap 27 note 80) in name of Rav Scheinberg says that if one will not be able to stop and one cannot say it while driving because of a safety hazard and lack of kavana one should say it in the Shomeh [[Tefillah]] of the [[Shmoneh Esrei]] prior to leaving. </ref> | ||
