According to relevant laws and regulations in China, fatigue driving is considered a traffic violation, and records of traffic violations cannot be erased. They are permanently archived for easy retrieval by traffic management authorities. Here is relevant information about fatigue driving: 1. Hazards of Fatigue Driving: Fatigue driving is highly likely to cause traffic accidents. It refers to a phenomenon where drivers experience physiological and psychological dysfunction after prolonged continuous driving, leading to a decline in driving skills. Poor or insufficient sleep quality and extended periods of driving can easily lead to a lack of endogenous oxygen, resulting in fatigue. 2. Causes of Fatigue Driving: There are many factors that contribute to fatigue driving. Driver fatigue primarily involves fatigue of the nerves and sensory organs, as well as physical fatigue caused by prolonged fixed postures and poor blood circulation. Drivers sitting in fixed positions for extended periods with limited movement, highly concentrated attention, and constant processing of external stimuli can experience symptoms such as blurred vision, back pain, slow reactions, and reduced driving agility. The sequence of fatigue onset typically starts with the eyes, followed by the neck, shoulders, and lower back, with eye and physical fatigue being the primary concerns, along with mental fatigue, which is also a significant aspect.

I have personal experience with this. My long-haul truck is equipped with a Beidou recorder that beeps an alarm every 4 hours. At first, I kept thinking about how to clear the records, but later found it completely impossible! The device automatically uploads data to the transport management platform, and even the company doesn't have the authority to modify it. Once, I exceeded the limit by 20 minutes and was directly penalized with safety points deducted, plus a lecture from my boss. Now I've learned my lesson—I time it to drive for exactly 3 hours and 45 minutes before pulling into a service area. I keep two cans of coffee in the truck, and if I'm really tired, I splash cold water on my face and check the tire pressure while I'm at it. Honestly, this approach is more cost-effective—it saves me from a 2,000-yuan fine and losing points on my license. Getting home safely is what matters most; if you crash from fatigue driving, you won't even have a place to cry about it.

This is the most dreaded aspect of the bus driving profession. Fatigue records are directly linked to a driver's credit score, and I've had colleagues lose their jobs over it. The equipment automatically logs the moments when your eyelids droop, with the traffic management system monitoring in real-time. Last time, I tried restarting the device by cutting power, but it was all in vain—the data had already been uploaded to the cloud. Later, I came up with practical tricks: using Amap navigation to set mandatory stop reminders, placing peppermint candies on the dashboard to stay alert, and hanging family photos on the rearview mirror as a safety reminder. Before long trips, drinking half a bottle of energy drink helps, and if you're tired, don't push through—a 15-minute nap at a highway service area works wonders. Remember, safety is the key to earning more.

A friend who worked at a car modification shop mentioned someone offered 5,000 yuan to modify the equipment but was refused. Traffic regulations require commercial vehicles to be equipped with recorders, and the chips have write protection. Suggestions: Drink vitamin beverages before departure to stay alert, and avoid setting the air conditioning too warm as it can cause drowsiness. On national highways, there are basically rest areas every 50 kilometers—perfect for a bathroom break and washing your face. Listening to Guo Degang's crosstalk is more effective than music for staying awake. If you need to report an anomaly, go to the traffic police station to fill out an appeal form, but you must have service station surveillance or electronic invoices as evidence. Nowadays, highways are covered with high-definition cameras, so don’t count on luck.
