Does 20 minutes of non-stop driving by two drivers count as fatigued driving?
1 Answers
Non-stop driving for 20 minutes by two drivers does not count as fatigued driving. Here are the relevant details: 1. The criteria for determining fatigued driving are: when a vehicle driver drives for more than eight hours a day. A driver may experience drowsiness, fatigue, or inability to promptly and accurately respond to road traffic conditions due to excessive physical exertion or lack of sleep. Meeting any of these conditions constitutes fatigued driving. 2. Additional information: The main causes of driving fatigue include living environment and sleep quality. Factors such as living far from the workplace, excessive household chores, heavy mental burdens, extensive social engagements, or prolonged participation in recreational activities can contribute. Going to bed too late, insufficient sleep time, poor sleep quality, or noisy sleeping environments that prevent restful sleep can also lead to driving fatigue.
