How many minutes must be taken for rest to avoid fatigued driving?
1 Answers
If a driver operates a vehicle continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or takes a break of less than 20 minutes, electronic surveillance will identify these fatigued drivers. Traffic police departments will legally require the driver to stop and rest, issuing a warning. In severe cases, penalty points may also be deducted according to the law. Precautions for driving on highways are as follows: 1. Safety check: Check for potential hazards before getting in the car. Before driving on the highway, inspect the vehicle for any safety risks. 2. Wear seat belts: Always wear seat belts on the highway, including the driver, front passenger, and rear seats. Avoid placing unsecured items in the car. 3. Stay in one lane: Avoid frequent lane changes on the highway, switching between the passing lane and the travel lane, and never make sudden unannounced decelerations or stops in the travel lane. While driving, do not drive side by side with other vehicles, avoid prolonged driving in the passing lane, and never attempt to overtake from the emergency lane. Additionally, prepare for lane changes in advance when exiting the highway to avoid missing the exit.
