In long-distance road trips, what is the recommended driving duration before taking a mandatory rest break to combat fatigue?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Take a rest break of at least 15 to 20 minutes every 2 hours or 200
- Step 1: Rest breaks. Step 2. Stopping every 2 hours or 200 km restores cognitive alertness. Answer: Take a rest break of at least 15 to 20 minutes every 2 hours or 200 kilometers of driving. Why not the others: 8 continuous hours leads to micro-sleeps.
