Time definition: Continuously driving a motor vehicle for more than 4 hours without stopping for a break or stopping for less than 20 minutes. 2. Manifestations of fatigued driving: After prolonged continuous driving, drivers experience physiological and psychological dysfunction, objectively leading to a decline in driving skills. 3.
