Karnataka Considers Mandatory Rest for Night-Shift Drivers

After a bad bus accident in Karnataka that killed seven people and hurt many more, the government is thinking about making drivers take a break at night.

They want drivers to rest for at least four hours between midnight and 4 a.m.

to prevent tiredness.

The government also wants to make buses safer by checking emergency exits and not allowing buses that aren't in good condition to operate.

Some experts think that instead of restricting night travel, having two drivers for long trips would be better.

There was also another problem with the same bus company where a driver was drunk, but the trip continued after the right driver took over.
