The rule banning driving while unfit (due to fatigue and similar causes) applies only to professional drivers such as bus and truck drivers, not to people driving their own private cars.

過労運転等の禁止は、バスやトラックなどの職業運転者だけに適用され、自家用車の運転者には適用されない。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

The article begins with "no person shall", so it applies to everyone who drives, not just professional drivers. Private car drivers are covered as well.

Original text

何人も、前条第一項に規定する場合のほか、過労、病気、薬物の影響その他の理由により、正常な運転ができないおそれがある状態で車両等を運転してはならない。
