It might be unsafe but it's not illegal. It looks like Uber recently sidestepped it with agreeing that drivers not work more than 12 "consecutive" hours. Does a 15-min food break make two 8 blocks "non-consecutive"? I hope not.

- idop 10y agoIn Israel, food breaks do not make two separate blocks. By law, you can't work more than 12 hours in one work-day, and there must be at least an 8 hour rest period between two work-days. I remember when I was in the army, you were not allowed to drive if you hadn't slept at least 8 hours the night before. Of course, these rules are never strictly kept.

- tedmiston 10y agoThanks for adding this — it looks like a couple states are settling on no sleep in 24 consecutive hours as a standard. I wonder if different regulations are being considered for individuals vs drivers for ride sharing services. The latter is more concerning to me, though both are definitely a big deal.
