Explanation

To avoid fatigue while driving, it is recommended to take breaks every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres. This recommendation is based on the importance of the driver keeping their ability to react and pay attention, because fatigue can seriously affect road safety. The rules set out the need for these breaks as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of accidents linked to drowsiness and lack of concentration while driving.
