1 Answers
According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", drivers who have been driving continuously for more than 4 hours must take a break of no less than 20 minutes. Penalties for not stopping to rest: If a driver continues to drive for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or takes a break of less than 20 minutes, electronic surveillance will target these fatigued drivers. The traffic police department will also legally require the driver to stop and rest, issuing a warning, and in severe cases, deduct points according to the law. Consequences of not stopping to rest: It can easily lead to drowsiness, weakness in limbs, inability to promptly detect and accurately handle traffic conditions on the road, and may cause traffic accidents.
