One More Reversal

For the bastard Bu$hCo. It will make the highways a bit safer. This is one small step, but there are so many more to take in order to rectify all the damage Bu$hCo has done to this country, this world.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday struck down a Bush administration rule that loosened limits on the work hours of truck drivers, concluding that officials had failed to offer adequate justification for the changes.

In a unanimous decision
, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the federal agency that oversees the trucking industry had not provided enough evidence to demonstrate the safety of its 2005 decision to increase the maximum driving hours of truck drivers. The hours were increased to 77 from 60 over 7 consecutive days, and to 88 hours from 70 over 8 days.

My emphasis.
