New York – Three New York University doctors have released a study that shows cab drivers who work 12 hours shifts don’t drink enough water and hold their urine too long, risking long-term physical damage.

The New York Post reports (http://bit.ly/1wJzQSS) taxi drivers are at a higher risk of developing infertility, kidney stones, bladder cancer and urinary tract infections compared to non-taxi drivers.
With no regular places to stop for a restroom break, drivers can end up with a distended bladder and infections if they hold it in too long or kidney stones if they don’t drink enough water.
The study was done after a lot of NYC cab drivers have said they hold their urine for a whole 12 hour shift due to lack of time, and a lot of pressure on them to not stop driving.

12 hours holding it in, that’s amazing besides dangereous.
How “smart” does one need to be to figure out that they can take a long a large necked size bottle, like a Snapple bottle or urinal and pee inside?
According to the Torah, one must pee in the street, publicly.
But NYC law permits it, only for pets but not for humans.
These Laws must have been written by PETA who cares more for animals than for humans.
If they did a survey of economy-class airline travelers, they might come up with a similar result.
