Tzippi Hotovely has put together a program working in coordination with all the gas stations... if you are driving during the night, between midnight and 6am, you can stop in any gas station an dget a cup of coffee for just 1 shekel! The goal is to minimize road accidents.
Kol hakavod.

You and me. :-/

Driving around the western US, we used to see free coffee stops set up at rest stops. Similar idea and motivation. Preventative medicine is usually a better idea. Those stops were usually manned and supplied by volunteers, so no direct cost to the taxpayer.
