How many points are deducted for driving a small car for more than 4 hours?
2 Answers
Driving a small car for more than 4 hours will result in a deduction of 6 points. The penalty for driving continuously for 4 hours without rest is divided into two scenarios, and both are relatively severe. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles: For driving medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or stopping for less than 20 minutes, 12 points will be deducted at once. Driving motor vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles: For driving motor vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or stopping for less than 20 minutes, 6 points will be deducted at once.
As a driver who frequently takes long trips, I know well how strict the rules are against fatigued driving. Driving a car continuously for more than 4 hours without resting for at least 20 minutes will result in a 6-point penalty. Once, I was in too much of a hurry and didn’t pay attention to the time, only to be caught by the police and penalized—something I deeply regret. Fatigue isn’t just about losing points; it can also lead to accidents—slowed reactions or even dozing off, which can be disastrous on the highway. I recommend setting a phone reminder or an in-car timer to take a break every two hours, stretch your legs, and have some water. There are so many rest areas—use them to keep your license and stay safe. Remember, safety first—don’t let those points slip away!
