# MenkyoQuest — Question ch4_trap_05

Chapter: Ch. 4 Pre-Drive Conduct
Section: 第1節 運転に当たっての注意
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
When driving for a long period of time, you must take a break at least once every two hours.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
Taking a break every two hours on long drives is recommended by the Rules of the Road, not a legal obligation for private vehicles on ordinary roads. The mandatory wording "must take a break" is therefore incorrect. (Commercial vehicles are separately subject to rules such as a break after every four hours of continuous driving.)

## Driving school curriculum
