Cevap

Take a planned rest break of at least 15 minutes after every two hours of driving
According to Highway Code Rule 91, drivers must plan journeys to include a rest break of at least 15 minutes after every two hours of driving. Regular breaks are essential to maintain concentration, ensure optimal reaction times, and prevent sleep-related collisions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the Highway Code safety standard regarding journey planning and driver fatigue management.
Highway Code Rule 91 establishes guidelines for continuous driving limits and necessary rest intervals.
Fatigue significantly degrades reaction times, hazard perception, and decision-making during long journeys.
2
Apply the recommended duration and interval requirements to the journey plan.
The driver must schedule a break of at least 15 minutes for every two hours of driving.
Short, regular stops allow the brain to recover alertness and prevent severe drowsiness before it occurs.
