What are the penalties for fatigued driving?
1 Answers
Penalties for fatigued driving: Drivers who operate medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or hazardous material transport vehicles continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest, or whose rest period is less than 20 minutes, will receive 12 demerit points. Drivers of other motor vehicles (excluding medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles and hazardous material transport vehicles) who drive continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or whose rest period is less than 20 minutes will receive 6 demerit points. Unlike drunk driving, which can be quantitatively determined by measuring the driver's alcohol level, identifying fatigued driving presents certain challenges. Currently, traffic police primarily employ safety reminders and have established temporary rest stations along special road sections such as highways.
