The duration of drivers’ work for a week cannot be more than 40 hours. If a driver also operates on Wednesdays, the daily duration of work may not exceed 7 hours.
Note that now the drivers of trucks and buses are the most vulnerable workers. The duration of their work for a day is 12 hours. However, many of them only have a rest on Sundays. Experts attribute the frequency of accidents involving passenger buses also to this factor. -----08D
