How Many Hours Constitute Fatigued Driving?
1 Answers
Fatigued driving refers to operating a motor vehicle continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or taking a break of less than 20 minutes. Below are relevant details: 1. Driver fatigue occurs when a driver experiences physiological and psychological dysfunction after prolonged continuous driving, objectively manifesting as a decline in driving skills. 2. To alleviate fatigued driving, one should decisively choose an appropriate time to rest, ideally before feeling drowsy. Driving while drowsy can lead to the driver unknowingly falling asleep at any moment. 3. A good driving habit is to take a break every two hours to ensure full concentration once behind the wheel.
