When making a long trip you should stop for a rest every how many hours?

Answer 1

IT is no so much the miles you have gone but the time you have spent driving.

1) If you are feeling tired at ANY TIME you MUST stop or you will fall asleep at the wheel.

2) For professional drivers (those paid to drive trucks or people for a living) most countries have laws regarding how long they can drive which require a break or breaks totalling at least 45 minutes after no more than 4 hours 30 minutes driving. Further, a driver who begins work at 06.00 on day 1 must, by 06.00 on day 2 at the latest, have completed either:

• a regular daily rest period of at least 11 hours; (A continuous period of at least 11 hours' rest.) or
• a split regular daily rest period of at least 12 hours; (A regular rest taken in two separate periods - the first at least 3 hours, and the second at least 9 hours.) or
• if entitled, a reduced daily rest period of at least 9 hours. (A continuous rest period of at least 9 hours but less than 11 hours.)

Answer 2
