[True / False · Medium]

The Rules of the Road states under "(4) Make a Reasonable Driving Plan" that "Continuous high-speed driving for long periods is dangerous. Create a driving plan with adequate rest breaks and time to spare." This is an important principle to prevent accidents caused by fatigue.

Hikari

I mean, if I'm alert and feel fine, I can just push through and save time, right?

Yui

Nope, the rules say continuous high-speed driving for long periods is dangerous. You need to plan rest breaks and give yourself time to spare—that's true and non-negotiable.

Hikari

So it's not about how I feel, it's about the risk itself.

Yui

Exactly. Fatigue sneaks up on you. Build those breaks into your plan from the start!
