ROAD TRANSPORT SAFETY

Motion Text

That this House is concerned that the injuries and fatalities suffered by many professional drivers each year are due to accidents in which fatigue has played a part; believes that the Government should ensure effective enforcement of the working directives so that road transport driver hours do not exceed 48 hours a week; and calls on the Government to implement ILO conventions limiting driving turns to four hours before rest and for the amendment of EU regulation 3820/85 to control working hours as well as driving time.
