To prevent highway hypnosis, after how many miles or hours should you stop?

50 miles or 1 hour
100 miles or 2 hours
150 miles or 3 hours
200 miles or 4 hours

The correct answer is: 100 miles or 2 hours

Stopping after 100 miles or 2 hours is recommended to help prevent highway hypnosis, a phenomenon where a driver becomes less aware of their surroundings and may even zone out while driving long distances. This recommendation stems from the understanding that extended periods of constant driving without breaks can lead to mental fatigue and decrease a driver's alertness. Taking a break every 100 miles or after 2 hours allows the driver to rest, stretch their legs, and refresh their mind, reducing the risk of accidents caused by inattention. It acknowledges the need for both physical and mental breaks during long trips. This strategy supports safe driving practices, ensuring that drivers remain focused and alert throughout their journey. Continuing to drive beyond this guideline increases the likelihood of experiencing fatigue-related issues, which can compromise safety on the road.
