* Rav Yisrael Yaakov Fischer (Even Yisrael 8:25) was lenient. His logic was that the purpose of [[havdala]] is to separate between kodesh and chol, but once a person already did melacha before [[havdala]] it is already chol for him and he is no longer obligated in [[havdala]]. Thus it would be permitted for a person to benefit from his melacha because it is not called chilul [[Shabbat]] anymore.

* Tzitz Eliezer 12:37 suggests that you greet the driver with a shavua tov and hopefully the driver will respond shavua tov  , and thereby fulfill his torah obligation of [[havdala]]. Shemirat [[Shabbat]] Kihilchita 58: note 31 disagreed and says this wouldn’t work and only [[shabbat]] shalom would potentially work to fulfill [[kiddish]] but shavua tov wouldn’t work for [[havdala]].

* Teshuvot Vihanhagot 1:161 writes that once a Jew has performed melacha he may continue to perform melacha for you even before [[havdala]]. Rav Shternbuch also raises the argument that the only reason melacha is prohibited in the first place is so that you wouldn’t forget to say [[havdala]], which wouldn’t apply to someone who doesn’t plan on saying it anyway.
