What the petition asks
Regulation (EC) No 561/2006
Article 11
Article 11
A Member State may provide for longer minimum breaks and rest periods or shorter maximum driving times than those laid down in Articles 6 to 9 in the case of carriage by road undertaken wholly within its territory. In so doing, Member States shall take account of relevant collective or other agreements between the social partners. Nevertheless, this Regulation shall remain applicable to drivers engaged in international transport operations.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand you're concerned about breaks for lorry and bus drivers but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
