Fatigued driving refers to situations where a driver operates a vehicle for more than 8 hours per day, or continuously drives for 4 hours without taking a break of at least 20 minutes. Below are specific details about fatigued driving: 1. Definition: Driving fatigue occurs when a driver experiences physiological and psychological dysfunction after prolonged continuous driving, leading to an objective decline in driving skills. Drivers with poor or insufficient sleep quality, or those who drive for extended periods, are prone to fatigue. 2. Laws and regulations: Article 22 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates: Motor vehicle drivers shall comply with the provisions of road traffic safety laws and regulations, drive safely and civilly in accordance with operating norms. Drivers must not operate a motor vehicle if they are under the influence of alcohol, using state-controlled psychotropic substances or narcotics, suffering from diseases that hinder safe driving, or excessively fatigued to the extent that it affects safe driving.
