NYC proposes rules to put the brakes on sleepy taxi drivers

NEW YORK (AP) — Cabbies will have to pull over after driving 12 hours in any 24-hour period under rules proposed by New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission.

Mayor Bill de Blasio (dih BLAH'-zee-oh) announced the proposed rules Tuesday and said they will keep sleep-deprived taxi drivers off the streets.
