When traveling across states, how long must a driver rest after driving 11 hours?

8 hours
10 hours
12 hours
14 hours

The correct answer is: 10 hours

After driving for 11 hours, federal regulations require that a driver must rest for a minimum of 10 consecutive hours before resuming driving duties. This rule is in place to ensure that drivers are well-rested and capable of operating their vehicles safely, as fatigue can greatly increase the risk of accidents. The requirement for a 10-hour rest period is part of the Hours of Service regulations set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These regulations are designed to minimize the potential for fatigue-related incidents by mandating sufficient rest periods between driving shifts. By adhering to this regulation, drivers can maintain better focus and reduce the likelihood of errors created by exhaustion.
