What the petition asks
I'm a lorry driving who has to sleep or stop for breaks in motorway services and the cost of products is shocking. I know from my previous employment that coach drivers have the same problem too
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is the responsibility of retailers at service stations, not the Government or Parliament.
