How often should a driver take a break while driving?

[McJulian]

How often to take a break while driving depends on the vehicle condition and the driver. For small private cars driving at normal speed on highways (normal speed varies by situation), it is recommended to take a break every 3-4 hours during the day, and every 4 hours for professional long-distance drivers. At night, take a break every 2 hours, or every 2-3 hours for professional long-distance drivers. Additional information is as follows: 1. Regulations: Article 62 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations" stipulates: When driving a motor vehicle, the following behaviors are prohibited: driving continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or stopping to rest for less than 20 minutes. 2. Fatigue driving: Fatigue driving is highly likely to cause traffic accidents. It refers to the phenomenon where the driver's physiological and psychological functions become imbalanced after prolonged continuous driving, resulting in an objective decline in driving skills. Drivers with poor or insufficient sleep quality and those who drive for long periods are prone to fatigue due to a lack of endogenous oxygen.
