How Many Hours of Continuous Driving Constitutes Fatigued Driving?

[Howard]

Continuous driving for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or with a rest period of less than 20 minutes is considered fatigued driving. The following are precautions regarding fatigued driving: 1. Ensure adequate sleep: Get enough sleep the night before driving and avoid staying up late. 2. Plan driving time reasonably: Arrange driving time scientifically, try to avoid driving at night, especially during the early morning hours. During the day, avoid driving in the afternoon, balance work and rest, and do not drive continuously for more than 4 hours during the day. If driving for an extended period, choose a safe place to stop and rest for at least 20 minutes. If driving at night is necessary, do not drive continuously for more than 2 hours. 3. Adjust sitting posture: Avoid maintaining the same posture for a long time while driving to prevent muscle stiffness and fatigue. You can make slight adjustments to your sitting posture while driving.
