According to Article 38 of the "Safety Management Regulations for Road Passenger Transport Enterprises," passenger transport enterprises must strictly adhere to regulations regarding drivers' driving and rest times when formulating transportation plans: the cumulative driving time within 24 hours must not exceed 8 hours. The continuous driving time during the day must not exceed 4 hours, and the continuous driving time at night must not exceed 2 hours. Each rest stop should last no less than 20 minutes. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: When turning or changing lanes, always use the turn signals and reduce speed. Before turning, always check the rearview mirrors. For left turns, primarily check the left rearview mirror; for right turns, primarily check the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, always check the interior rearview mirror. 2. Avoid staring at the front of the vehicle: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead at a distance of 100 meters, and avoid staring at the immediate front of the vehicle. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there is no need to depress the clutch first. Wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before depressing the clutch. 4. Steering: For high-speed turns, steer slowly; for low-speed turns, steer quickly.
