Does parking with Beidou system without turning off the engine count as rest?
1 Answers
Yes, it counts as rest and generally does not qualify as fatigued driving. Typically, authorities only investigate fatigued driving by reviewing surveillance footage of the driving route when an accident occurs. As long as the vehicle is parked in a designated parking area for more than 20 minutes, it is considered a rest state, regardless of whether the engine is running. It would be unreasonable to turn off the engine in extremely hot weather. Here is additional information: Fatigued Driving: Fatigued driving is highly likely to cause traffic accidents. It refers to a situation where a driver, after prolonged continuous driving, experiences physiological and psychological dysfunction, resulting in objectively observable declines in driving skills. Drivers with poor or insufficient sleep quality, or those who drive for extended periods, are prone to fatigue. Driving fatigue affects various aspects of a driver's attention, sensation, perception, thinking, judgment, willpower, decision-making, and movement.
