Fatigue driving is mainly divided into two types: time-related fatigue and physiological fatigue. For example, continuously driving a motor vehicle for more than 4 hours without stopping for rest or with rest time less than 20 minutes; passenger vehicles continuously driving for more than 2 hours without rest between 22:00 and 6:00 the next day, or accumulating more than 8 hours of driving within 24 hours. Physiological fatigue is directly related to the driver's physical and mental state, manifesting as decreased attention, slow reaction, or even brief sleep. It can be identified through objective evidence such as monitoring equipment (e.g., brain wave values below 30), the driver's self-report of mental trance, or investigation of insufficient sleep and medication history. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, fatigue driving will face point-based penalties: 9 points will be deducted for violations by medium-sized or larger passenger vehicles or dangerous goods transport vehicles, and 3 points for trucks. It is recommended that drivers take the initiative to rest for 15 minutes every 2 hours, relieve fatigue by ventilating the vehicle, listening to music, etc., and ensure sufficient sleep before long-distance driving.
