Fatigue Prevention Feature

Taking a Stand Against Drowsy Driving

Driver fatigue is a serious hazard on the road. It can impair focus, slow reaction times, and even cause dangerous microsleeps—all of which significantly increase the risk of accidents. To keep yourself and others safe, it’s essential to avoid driving when tired.

How it works

To help manage fatigue, ROOO enforces mandatory rest periods:

13-Hour Limit: After 13 hours of online time, you’ll be required to take an 8-hour rest break before logging back in.
Automatic Reset: Once your 8-hour break is complete, your online time will reset automatically.
Track Your Hours: Easily monitor your online time through the ROOO Driver app. Simply navigate to Profile Picture > Account > Online Hours.
By prioritizing rest, we can ensure safer journeys for everyone on the road. Stay refreshed, stay alert, and stay safe!
