Why are lorry drivers are not allowed to drive for more than 48 hours per hour?

Lorry drivers are not allowed to drive for more than 48 hours per week to ensure safety on the roads and prevent fatigue-related accidents. Regulations, such as those set by the European Union and other governing bodies, aim to limit driving hours and promote regular rest periods. This helps maintain the alertness and well-being of drivers, ultimately reducing the risk of collisions and improving overall road safety.
