When is a driver of a vehicle weighing more than 6,000 kg required to take a half hour brake?

  1. After 4.5 hours of non-stop driving.
  2. After 6 hours of non-stop driving.
  3. Correct answer: After a maximum of 4 hours of non-stop driving.
  4. After 5 hours of non-stop driving.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: After a maximum of 4 hours of non-stop driving.

A driver of a vehicle weighing more than 6,000 kg must take a half-hour break no later than after 4 hours of non-stop driving. The rule is meant to prevent fatigue, which is especially dangerous in heavy vehicles. Driving 4.5, 5 or 6 hours in a row before the break is not allowed.
