vehicle crew rest times

Vehicle crew rest times refer to legally mandated periods that ensure drivers and crew members can recover from fatigue after operating a vehicle. These rest periods vary by jurisdiction but typically require a minimum number of hours off-duty after a certain amount of driving or work. The goal is to maintain safety by preventing drowsiness, which can impair judgment and reaction times. Rest times help crew members recharge, reduce accidents, and promote well-being. Compliance with these regulations is essential for legal operation and the safety of all road users.
