How Long Does It Take to Be Considered Fatigued Driving?

[LeAniyah]

Continuous driving for 4 hours is considered fatigued driving. Fatigued driving manifests as the driver experiencing physiological and psychological dysfunction after prolonged continuous driving, objectively leading to a decline in driving skills. Continuing to drive while fatigued can result in drowsiness, weakness in limbs, lack of concentration, reduced judgment, delayed or premature actions, and other unsafe factors, significantly increasing the risk of road traffic accidents. Therefore, driving while fatigued is strictly prohibited. Methods to alleviate fatigued driving: 1. Stimulate the face with cool air or cold water; 2. Drink a cup of hot tea or coffee, or consume some sour or spicy stimulating foods; 3. Stop the vehicle and move around outside the driver's compartment, breathe fresh air, and engage in stimulating activities to boost mental alertness; 4. Listen to light music or turn up the volume slightly to stimulate mental alertness; 5. Gently tap the head with both hands to promote blood circulation in the head, enhance metabolism, and stimulate brain activity.
