Is it advisable to stop and rest during journeys?

Correct answer

Yes, plan breaks of 20 or 30 minutes every two hours or 200 kilometres, and sooner if rest is needed.

Yes. For long journeys, plan breaks of 20 or 30 minutes every two hours or 200 kilometres, using whichever comes first as a guide. Stop sooner in a safe place if tired or sleepy and resume only when fit. Breaks help reduce fatigue but cannot guarantee that it never develops or replace rest before travel; compulsory professional driving times have their own rules.
