The police will still have to complete the investigation into the factors that led to the tragedy in the north. But apart from them there is a chain of variables like lack of supervision and poor wage conditions that amount to a dismal situation when it comes to heavy vehicles. “There is no recognition that the man sitting behind the wheel is a human being”

The publications about the traffic history of the bus driver who was involved in the fatal car accident that occurred yesterday on Route 89 stole the spotlight. However, anyone involved in driving, safety and transportation knows that this is a smoke screen.
It’s sad and hard to say, but 50 convictions over decades of driving and given the fact that the annual bus fare is about 60,000 km M – almost four times as much as a private car – are not an exception. What’s more, without clarifying the convictions, it becomes almost meaningless.
The search for the culprit distracts the discussion from the big picture, and focuses on the reverse bus and the wrecked cars.

“The industry is suffering from a shortage of manpower,” he told Walla! The bus driver, Yaakov Damari, a member of the Union of Forced Transportation Committees for Workers. “As a result, there is less rigor in training and supervision.” Damari, who has been driving for decades, knows the problematic situation in which the industry finds itself as someone who has seen it change before his eyes.
And professional drivers’ organizations because the industry suffers from two major failures, two intertwined failures: a critical shortage of bus and heavy vehicle drivers on the one hand, and a professionally unregulated status of those drivers. A third and more systemic failure concerns the issue of driving in old age in general and in public vehicles in particular.
However these are not three separate incidents, but links in a chain whose end is the problematic situation on the roads when it comes to heavy vehicles. For example, working conditions that include long hours behind the wheel in the State of Israel. “There are situations in which bus drivers, especially outside organized companies, work long hours, which Regulation 168 (working hours and rest – KK) does not apply,” said Damari.
