COMMON SENSE

ISN"T REALLY "COMMON"

A very routine night. The only event of consequence was having to send a dayshift driver home. He had been driving for almost 14 hours and was starting to have memory lapses. Couldn't remember where he had been dispatched to. After the second incident, I told him to go home.

The Federal Gov't has regulations governing how long a commercial truck driver can drive. Most states have seldom enforced laws about how long any driver can operate a vehicle. Common sense should tell anyone that there is a limit to how long they can safely be behind the wheel. Greed is the only reason that cabbies work way beyond 12 hours. Greed and stupidity.
