Fatigue Prevention Feature
It is recommended that you have frequent breaks throughout the day. Just remember to tap “Go Offline” when you do.
Stamping down on driving drowsy
Driver fatigue poses a significant risk to everyone on the road. Fatigue reduces attentiveness and alertness, it slows reaction times and can lead to microsleeps – factors contributing to the risk of a road crash. To prevent this risk, you should avoid driving tired.
How it works
Once you’ve reached 13 hours of online time, you’ll need to take an 8 hour break to rest before going online again.
Also, once you’ve reached 80 cumulative hours of online time within 7-days, you’ll need to take a 24 hour break. Your online time will reset automatically once you’ve taken these breaks. You can easily track your online time in the DiDi Driver app via Profile Picture > Account > Online Hours.
FAQ
Fatigue means a gradual loss of alertness that leads to occasional microsleeps (or ‘nodding off’) and then sleep. Driver fatigue can be caused by too little sleep, driving when you would normally be asleep, or remaining awake and driving for extended periods of time.
The effects of driver fatigue include:
slowed reactions and decisions;
decreased tolerance for other road users;
poor lane tracking and maintenance of speed; and
decreased alertness.
Danger signs that you are suffering from driver fatigue include:
wandering thoughts;
missing a gear, road sign or exit;
slowing unintentionally;
braking too late;
excessive yawning;
blinking more than usual or sore eyes;
difficulty keeping your head up; and
noticing your eyes closing involuntarily.
Driver fatigue is a significant safety hazard to everyone on the road. Fatigue reduces attentiveness and alertness to dangers, slows reaction times and can lead to microsleeps – factors contributing to the risk of a road crash. To mitigate against this risk, you should avoid driving tired.
Unfortunately not. When you reach 13 cumulative hours of online time without taking a consecutive 8-hour break, the app will take you offline automatically for 8 hours so that you can rest before coming back online.
Driver-partners will be required to take a 24-hour break if they have been online for 7 consecutive days and accumulated 80 hours of online time within that 7-day calculation period. The timer resets if the driver takes a 24-hour break during this period.
It is a 7-day time period which means that for the past 7-days you were online on the platform.
No, if you do not reach 80 hours of total online hours in the 7-day period, you do not have to go offline for 24 hours.
It's normal for the total online hours to exceed the 80-hour limit. After taking a 24-hour break, this total will reset to 0 hours.
You can see your total online hours in the DiDi Driver app.
