What is the maximum cumulative driving time for a driver within 24 hours?
1 Answers
Drivers must not exceed 8 hours of cumulative driving time within a 24-hour period. Here are the relevant details: 1. Driving time regulations: Road passenger transport enterprises must strictly require that passenger drivers do not exceed 8 hours of cumulative driving time within 24 hours (which can be extended by 2 hours under special circumstances, but the total extended time per month must not exceed 36 hours). Continuous driving time must not exceed 4 hours, and each rest break must be at least 20 minutes. 2. Driving requirements: For passenger vehicles with a single trip exceeding 400 kilometers (or 600 kilometers for direct highway passenger transport), more than two drivers should be assigned. For long-distance passenger vehicles, drivers must be rotated and given adequate rest. For long-distance sleeper buses, schedules should be reasonably arranged to minimize nighttime operation.
