How long does a long-distance trip take to enter a service area for rest? Here's the answer from experienced drivers
The increase in vehicle ownership and the completion of highways have led to more and more friends driving long distances. During the holiday season, we can avoid the trouble of not being able to book tickets or return home, and can go to the places we want to go without being restricted. In the journey, we can completely determine our own plans, and enjoy the joy and relaxation. The editor experienced this every year during the National Day holiday. They drove the vehicle to Hangzhou, Zhejiang and Xi'an, Shaanxi, both starting from Beijing. However, there are some problems during driving that must be paid attention to, because these problems are related to traffic safety. Specifically, it is about how long to stop at the service area. There are many answers to this question, and these answers differ greatly. Let's talk about it below.
First, it's about 'three times must enter,' meaning that after experiencing two service areas, you need to stop at the third service area for a rest, otherwise you will feel very tired when you arrive at the fourth service area. This is a deep experience for me, so I suggest that in long-distance driving, if you feel tired, enter the third service area for a rest, to avoid feeling exhausted when you haven't reached the fourth service area.
Secondly, in traffic rules, it stipulates that in driving, you must not exceed four hours continuously, and many models currently on sale will issue corresponding warnings after driving continuously for 4 hours. At this time, you must enter a service area for rest.
Finally, there are special situations, such as if you drive a vehicle for more than 9 hours in a day, even if you rest for half an hour, you will still feel tired when driving for one hour. At this time, you must not drive any further, and immediately enter a service area for rest, to avoid serious accidents caused by fatigue driving.
For the above problems, the editor has experienced them firsthand. If you have two drivers during the journey, I suggest that you alternate driving for about two hours, which can effectively reduce driving fatigue and improve driving safety.
