How Long Does Driving Count as Fatigue Driving?

[Turner]

Continuous driving for 4 hours is considered fatigue driving. Below are specific precautions to take when driving long distances: Balance Work and Rest: For long-distance road trips, it is advisable to have two or more cars traveling together. This way, they can look out for each other on the road, and if a vehicle breaks down or an accident occurs, there will be assistance. Each car should ideally have two drivers. When one feels physically exhausted, the other can take over, ensuring the journey continues smoothly while avoiding fatigue driving. Pay Attention to Traffic Safety: Self-driving trips often take place during holidays when the number of vehicles and pedestrians on the road is significantly higher than usual. Therefore, drivers should pay extra attention to traffic safety, firmly uphold the principle of safety first, and consciously comply with traffic regulations. Monitor the Vehicle: While driving, always be attentive to the vehicle's operating conditions. Follow these three steps: 1) Listen—check for any abnormal sounds from the engine or chassis; 2) Observe—ensure all dashboard indicators display normal readings; 3) Smell—be alert for unusual odors such as burning wires, rubber, clutch, or brakes, as well as sudden gasoline smells.
