BDifficulty 2/5

As preventive guidance on a long journey, how often should you take a break of around 20 to 30 minutes if fatigue symptoms have not yet appeared?

Correct answer

Every two hours or 200 km, whichever comes first.

At least every two hours or 200 km, whichever comes first, following DGT’s general guidance. If fatigue or drowsiness appears, stop sooner in a safe place and rest as needed; do not wait for that interval. This is preventive guidance and does not replace specific statutory professional-driving times.
