New York City taxi drivers are pushing for emergency placards that would allow them to double-park for short periods to use restrooms without facing fines. At a rally, the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers highlighted the health implications of long shifts, particularly for older drivers with medical issues. Current options to access restrooms are inadequate under the pressure of potential parking violations, forcing some drivers to resort to using their vehicle doors for privacy. The federation criticizes the city's approach to this pressing health and work-life balance issue.
When you've got to go, you've got to go.
It is disgraceful that hardworking drivers are fined simply for using the bathroom.
Many taxi drivers suffer from serious health conditions that require frequent restroom use.
A lot of drivers, what they're doing is they're opening their doors, and they're doing their necessities on the street.
