Interesting, I've had the opposite experience. Most of the Lyft / Uber drivers I've met work MORE than 40 hours a week and are utilizing it for their full time employment. I found out though that I believe for Lyft, if you work more than x hours, they take a smaller cut of your earnings.

Uber also does this now, where they take a lower commission to encourage driving more hours.

Not sure how many hours truckers are allowed to drive, but in a city you have way more things that can go wrong. People should not be allowed to drive past their limits.

There are many more things that can go wrong, but you're driving a much smaller vehicle at much lower speeds so the odds of surviving an accident will be a lot higher.

That said, I still agree with you that rest ought to be enforced just as it is for truckers.
