How often does the Highway Code advise you to stop for a rest on a long journey?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. At least every two hours
- Step 1: The Code tells drivers to plan long trips so that they can rest regularly. Step 2. The advice is a break of at least 15 minutes for every two hours of driving, so a four-hour gap is too long. Answer: At least every two hours. Why not the others: Four hours and a single halfway stop leave you driving tired for too long, and fuel level says nothing about your alertness.
