Correct answer

  • Ccada 2 horas o cada 200 kilómetros de conducción.every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres of driving.
Explanation

To prevent fatigue, it is recommended to rest for about 20 or 30 minutes every 2 hours or every 200 kilometres, and sooner if symptoms of tiredness appear. Waiting 4 hours or 400 kilometres is too long: by then fatigue has already reduced attention and made reaction time longer.
