Question 7899

On long trips, is it recommended to stop and rest for a while?

  1. Only if the trip is mainly on high-capacity divided highways (autovías) or freeways (autopistas).
  2. No, because it unnecessarily lengthens the travel time and increases fatigue.
  3. Yes, for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours of driving or every 200 kilometers.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours of driving or every 200 kilometers.

Yes. On long trips, you should stop for 20 or 30 minutes every 2 hours or every 200 kilometers, on any type of road. The break makes the trip a little longer, but it helps you recover from fatigue.
